For 1099G form import, there is no choice for "unemployment benefit". How can I select?

When I select I received 1099G, there are question: What type of payment did you receive? Should I select "Taxable grant" for unemployment benefit received?

You cannot import a 1099G.   You have to key it in by hand.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return. 

 

You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.

 

Some states will mail out the 1099G.  Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site

.

Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment

 

Go through the screens very carefully, making sure  to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.
