My 1099-G form has both federal (box 4) and state (box 11) taxes withheld.
Turbotax asked about the unemployment compensation (box 1) but never asked about the taxes that were withheld. I would expect this to be an automatic question when box 1 has a value.
Did I miss someplace where I need to manually select a special scenario and then enter in these values?

As mentioned by DoninGA, there should be a box to check on the screen that asks if any taxes were withheld from your unemployment payments (if you are using one of the CD/downloaded versions of TurboTax). Check that box and then you will be able to enter the amounts withheld.
If you are using TurboTax Online, the other boxes (4 and 11) should be visible on the screen where you enter the unemployment compensation. If you are not seeing that, be sure that you are entering your information in the correct place.
Use the following steps to go to the unemployment section of your return:
