Thet are taxable in the year received

After the end of the year you will get a Form 1099-G showing the amount of unemployment that was paid to you during the year. That's what you report on your tax return for that year.

Many states do not mail out the 1099-G forms. You might have to access it on your state's unemployment web site. In January the web site should have information about how to get your 1099-G.
