I got unemployment last week of October 2016 and made $23,000 and still on unemployment do I report unemployment or wait next season?

Sweet! make sure you pay CT their $162 and then file the amended return when you receive your 1099G.

Just saw your message I didn't do amended thing. I will tell CT department my story tomorrow. CT is weird my mom is disabled from a stroke and gets around $1200 a month and she doesn't have to report it. I was reading the crazy tax laws in CT idk I just relax now. Thanks though.

Hi there!

You should have received a 1099G for your unemployment compensation for Oct-Dec. You need to report that income on your 2016 return. Navigate to the Wages & Income tab and then down to the Unemployment section. You can enter your unemployment there.
