If I received unemployment benefits how do I fill out that section?

If you received unemployment benefits in 2020, you will receive a form 1099-G from the agency which paid them. Unemployment benefits are taxable.

 

You can enter your form 1099-G by following these steps:

  1. In TurboTax, open your tax return
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Wages & Income on top of the screen
  3. Scroll down to All Income, locate the section Unemployment and click on Show more
  4. Click Start next to Unemployment and Paid Family Leave.
