Unemployment is taxable income. You do not say how much unemployment you received or whether you had tax withheld. Enter your 1099G for the unemployment to see if you are getting a refund or owe any tax.
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.
Possibly ... depends on the amount you got, your filing status, whether you are eligible for any credits. So complete a return and see if you need or want to file.
