If you are seeing 1099-INT, you are on the wrong screen.

 

There is more than one place to enter a Form 1099-G, depending on what is reported on the form. 

 

The most common reason to get a Form 1099-G is a state tax refund. Another common use for 1099-G is unemployment compensation or paid family leave (PFL).

  1. If it is one of those three things, use the search box in the upper right corner and search for 1099G. 
  2. Select either Go to state and local tax refunds or Go to unemployment compensation and PFL.
  3. Follow the on screen directions to enter your 1099-G form. 

Occasionally, you may get a Form 1099-G for a different reason such as agricultural payments, RTAA payments or taxable grants from government agencies. If it is one of those reasons, you will need to scroll down further on the search results list to see other information.
