I am trying to fill out my taxes for 2021. I received unemployment benefits during 2021 so I am trying to input that information into my Turbotax forms. it asks for 1099-g. When I try to get my 1099-g all the NJ unemployment website gives me is Box 1 and Box 4. I ask for it to be emailed to me but I never get the email, so I dont have the full 1099-g form. Turbotax asks to upload the form or type it in manually. Since for whatever reason it wont email the actual form I want to type it in myself. But it asks for Payer Federal ID Number and other boxes than just Box 1 & 4. and I dont know that information. How do I go about filling this out? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out here.

New Jersey 1099-G Tax Statement Available Online Only.

 

If you received Unemployment Insurance benefits, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (LWD) will provide you with Income Tax Form 1099-G (Certain Government Payments). However, the form will no longer be automatically mailed.

 

Unemployment Insurance benefits recipients will now have two options:

  1. View and print a copy of your Form 1099-G by logging into your unemployment benefits online account​. In order to access the form on the LWD website, you will need your online user ID, password, and Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you canno​t remember your PIN or are having difficulty with it, you can contact a Reemployment Call Center. The Reemployment Call Centers are:

      If you are unable to access the self-service system to obtain the 1099-G statement, you can contact your Reemployment Call Center to request a copy. The Tax Form 1099-G will be issued in January, and will cover the previous calendar year in which benefits were paid.
