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.

My point is that there is NOT an option for unemployment.  And if I cannot make a simple entry as this I will not use Turbo tax.

You are entering it in the wrong spot.  Unemployment has it's own separate entry area after Wages and Salaries.

Enter a 1099G for unemployment under
