UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION
Unemployment compensation is taxable on your federal return.
You will have to enter a 1099G that is issued by your state.
Some states will mail out the 1099G. Or you might need to go to your state’s unemployment website and use the password, etc. that you have been using to certify for weekly benefits to get your 1099G from the state’s site.
Enter your 1099G in Federal>Wages & Income>Unemployment
Go through the screens very carefully, making sure to enter any federal/state tax you had withheld from the unemployment.

but what do we put in the required fields when our 1099G doesnt show anything for state ID or withholdings? i tied leaving it blank but when i do the review, it takes me back to that asking me to fill in something.
It is possible that TurboTax has gotten some garbage in the data entry field.
Please delete the 1099-G in question, and re-enter it. If you auto-imported it, please type it in manually instead.
If there is nothing in box 11, then boxes 10a and 10b should be empty also.
