  • Make sure you are logged in and inside of the actual return (after clicking on Take me to my return)
  • Type unemployment compensation in the Search box in the top right corner of the account
  • Then select jump to unemployment compensation
  • Click Edit next to that 1099-G and if you get the "Enter your 1099-G info" screen, just click Continue. 
  • On the "What's the total amount you received on your 1099-G?"screen, make sure you have a check mark in the box next to "Federal or state income tax was withheld on this payment" and click Continue. 
  • The next page will ask you to input the Federal Income Tax Withheld in Box 4
