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.

Hello, thanks for reply. I live in dc but work in virginia and I received unemployment from Virginia. Virginia will make the 1099 g forms available tomorrow February 2nd. Do I have to pull the 1099 or will it transfer over to turbotax.
