No one at TurboTax can help with back payments for unemployment compensation. TurboTax is not involved with that in any way.    You have to deal with your state's unemployment offices for that.  However, if you did receive unemployment in 2020 it must be entered on your 2020 tax return.  

 

If you did not receive your 2nd stimulus then you can get it on your 2020 tax return by using the recovery rebate credit.  It is in the 2020 program under Other Tax Situations and will put your stimulus money on line 30 of your Form 1040.  The stimulus will be added to your 2020 tax refund.

 

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.
