You would have to contact the agency that paid her. If you know the amount, you can enter the information, but you will not be able to e-file without a name and EIN.

 

 

Entering the information reported on the actual Form 1099-G in the personal side of the tax return is just a means to get the information reported in the right place on the tax return.  The data on the form is not transmitted with the return, only the parts transferred to the Form 1040 showing the taxable amounts.

 

Similarly, as long as you have reported the taxable grant income on your Schedule C with your other business income, then that is all that is required.  The IRS already has copies of the actual Form 1099-G and will match the income reported on your return with the income that they know about based on income forms submitted with your business Federal ID number.  The information from the form itself is not required to be included with the tax return.
