Help not understanding 1099G. My husband works for Ford Motor Co. He gets subpay when they aren't working. Unemployment pays him a little. Do I get something from them?

Will Unemployment send us something that we need to add? I don't want to mess this up if so.

If your husband received payments from unemployment, then he will receive a Form 1099-G that will be used to report those payments. 

Similar to a W-2, this form must be issued and available to you by January 31st. 

When you do receive it, use these steps to enter it into your tax return:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)

• This opens a box where you can type in “unemployment compensation” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here, including the dash) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)

• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to unemployment compensation”

• Click on the blue “Jump to unemployment compensation” link

you will get a w-2 for sub, w-2 for regular paycheck, and a 1099 for unemployment
