I received unemployment benefits, and federal paid taxes on them. It asks me the type of payment (taxable grants, agricultural) none of which apply for basic unempl comp.

My 1099-G lists in box 1 the benefits I received, and box 4 lists the federal taxes I paid concurrently. There are 6 options Turbo Tax gives me to characterize the "payment type" -- which are all blank boxes on my 1099-G. Nothing referring to Box 1 for what seem to be basic unemployment compensation, or the box 4 for the taxes I paid.

• Click the Delete a Form hyperlink and click delete next to your 1099-G form.

Follow the directions below to re-enter form 1099-G.
