How do I file unemployment benefit repayment for 2024 when it was partially paid in 2024 but the rest will be paid in 2025?

My husband received unemployment benefits in 2024 but was notified of overpayment in November 2024. He is required to pay it back in full. Making up numbers here, but we repaid $1000 in 2024 and the remaining $5000 will be paid in 2025. How do we file this for 2024? Will he receive another 1099-G in 2025 for the remaining portion for which we will need to file again for 2025? Or do we note full repayment now for 2024?

No, don't report the full overpayment in 2024; only report what was repaid in 2024.  You will get a 1099-G for the payments that you made in 2025.

 

Refer to the TurboTax Help article Where do I report a 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave? for navigation instructions.
