Yes, you are still supposed to claim it.
Yes----the mixup you have with unemployment over your bank account does not mean you do not have to enter the unemployment on your income tax return. That is your own issue to sort out with the state's unemployment office. You must enter the 1099G for your unemployment on your tax return.
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.
