The IRS will start processing returns on Feb 12. Until then TurboTax will hold your pending e-filed return. Pending returns can not be changed. If the return is accepted you will get an email. If the return is rejected the e-mail will tell you what to correct and you can make changes before

e-filing again

You must wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.

  • If rejected, you can add the 1099-G before resubmitting or paper-filing your return.
  • If accepted, you must amend your return to add the 1099-G.

Here's where to report your 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave.

If you're using the TurboTax mobile app, follow these instructions.

 

Unemployment compensation and paid family leave are entered in the same place:

  1. Open or continue your tax return.

  2. Search for 1099-G and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
  3. On the "Did you receive unemployment or paid family leave benefits in 2020?" screen, answer Yes.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your 1099-G information.

Otherwise, if your 1099-G has amounts in Box 2, follow these instructions:

  1. With your return open in TurboTax, search for 1099–G (don't forget the dash!) and then select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
  2. This will take you to Did you have any of these types of income? Answer Yes.
  3. On the following screen, check the first box State or local income tax refunds and continue.
  4. Answer Yes to Did you get a state or local tax refund?
