The questions indicates that you are in the incorrect data entry for the unemployment compensation, form 1099-G (you have somehow selected Other 1099-G income, not unemployment).

Please follow the steps below to enter Unemployment benefits, form 1099-G:

1. Federal Taxes

2. Wages & Income, Jump to Full list

3. Scroll down to Unemployment

4. Select Unemployment and Paid Family Leave
