I lost my job due to covid and I've been on unemployment since then. So now I'm filing my taxes and its asking me to provide them with a federal number that's located in the 1099 G section of my unemployment payer

If you are entering information about unemployment that you received, you enter the information shown on the Form 1099-G (the state unemployment office Federal ID and address), not your employer's information.

Use these steps to be sure you are entering it into the right spot in TurboTax:

On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you can type in “unemployment compensation” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here, including the dash) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will give you an option to “Jump to unemployment compensation”
Click on the blue “Jump to unemployment compensation” link
