Form 1099G

[Porsche993]

How can I find out what category I'm in?  I've never see these types of payments before on my 1099G:

Taxable Grant

Agr program payment

Market gain on CCC loans

Reemployment trade adjustment asst payment

Business or farm tax refund

Thanks,

Ken

You may be in the wrong place.  What's it's for?  Unemployment or a state refund you got last year?  What box is the amount in?  Like box 1 or 2?

Enter a 1099G for unemployment under

Federal on left

Wages & Income at top

 Unemployment - Click the Start or Update Button

Enter the 1099G for state refund under

 Federal on left

Wages & Income at top

 Scroll down to 1099-Misc and  Other Common Income

      You might need click on Show More to expand the section

Then it's the first line for Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns - Click Start

     You do not want the next line that says Other 1099G Income

On the first screen check YES - Received a State Refund.

Hello Volvo Girl,  I think that you're right.  Box 2 has the money in it and it's from a state refund.  Now how do I get out of the "What Type of Payment Did You Receive?" area?

Thanks,

Ken

Yes, to back out of menus just use the "Back" button at the bottom of the page.  Additionally you can click the an area in the left hand menu like "Wages and Income" to jump to the main screen of that section.  Once on the main screen for "Wages and Income"  you can scroll down to "Other Common Income" where you will find the "State refund" topic.  

Keep in mind if you used the standard deduction last year then none of the state refund will be taxable.  If you itemized last year then TurboTax will help answer a few questions to see if any of the refund is taxable.
