Generally, most government agencies provide a paper copy of Form 1099-G to you by January 31 of the year following the year of payment. If you did not receive a Form 1099-G, check with the state government agency that made the payments to you. Many state agencies will allow you to log into their system and retrieve your 1099-G.

 

Once you receive your 1099-G, here is how to enter it into TurboTax:

  1. Open TurboTax.
  2. Search for 1099-G and select the "Jump to 1099-G".
  3. On the Did You Receive Unemployment or Paid Family Leave Benefits in 2020? screen, answer Yes.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your 1099-G information.
