I'm having problems with the 1099-G. It keeps saying needs review, wont let me finish e-file bc of it. Is this a glitch with the system? What am I doing wrong?

All of the information is entered correct as on the form. I cannot figure out WHAT it is that it wants me to review or why it keeps sending me in this loop. I ignored it, finished with all the rest of my return, and then it goes in another endless loop about entering my ID number, which is also correct. This feels more like a glitch in the system than a problem with my forms.

Delete the Form 1099-G

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Tools

Click on Delete a form

Re-enter the Form 1099-G manually.  If this was for unemployment compensation -

To enter unemployment compensation

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
• Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
• Under Unemployment
• On Unemployment and Paid Family Leave, click the start or update button

Or enter unemployment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to unemployment

Yeah I have tried entering the form manually, it still says "needs review" but won't specify WHAT needs review and I don't see anything wrong with the info.

Is that after you deleted it and re-entered?

Yes.

If you have completed your tax returns and there is nothing wrong with your 1099-G entry and this Review is the only thing holding you up for filing, then try this -

Click on File on the left side of the program screen.  Go through all 3 Steps in the File section and e-file the tax returns.

If this does not work and the program is still asking you to Review the 1099-G contact TurboTax support for assistance with this problem.

Support is open from 5am to 5pm Pacific time, Monday thru Friday

I am having the same issue. I have tried multiple suggestions:

- Deleting the 1099-G and reentrying it

- Using Google Chrome browser

- Deleting Cookies and Cache, and restarting the computer

- Putting the Payer's TIN in box 10b because the one on my 1099-G is blank. 

However, I am still stuck in a loop where the 1099-G needs review and I am not sure what to fix.

If you have no state withholding  in box  11  then boxes 10a, 10b & 11 should ALL be BLANK ... clear all the boxes.

I had this problem and after many rechecks that the info I entered was correct,  I was able to file by clicking CONTINUE every time it prompted me to review the 1099G. After a few times it stopped asking me to review and I was able to complete my e-file.
I was able to file even though the program still showed the message needs review.
