Help amending tax returns to reflect unemployment payments earned in 2020 not covered by the $10,200 federal exemption?

[Motax96]

I've never gotten a physical 1099-G form to my knowledge, and the amend section requires me to give my federal pay ID to continue. Can someone PLEASE help me, I've been tearing my hair out trying to find out what to do. I just want to get this done before the cutoff date.

What state paid you unemployment benefits?

You do not need to amend.  The refund will be automatic.

See @Hal_Al 's post, above - you do not need to amend for the unemployment income tax exemption.

If you still want your 2020 1099-G from MO, go to uinteract.labor.mo.gov.

Missourians who received unemployment benefits in 2020 can now view, print and download their 1099-G tax form online at uinteract.labor.mo.gov.

From the UInteract home screen, a claimant can select the “View and Print 1099" tab and simply select the year to view and print that year’s 1099-G tax form. The Missouri Division of Employment Security will mail a postcard no later than January 31 notifying any claimant who has not accessed their 1099-G online about the availability of the form and how to access it.
