Question

I'm having problems with the 1099-G. It keeps saying needs review, wont let me finish e-file bc of it. Is this a glitch with the system? What am I doing wrong?

All of the information is entered correct as on the form. I cannot figure out WHAT it is that it wants me to review or why it keeps sending me in this loop. I ignored it, finished with all the rest of my return, and then it goes in another endless loop about entering my ID number, which is also correct. This feels more like a glitch in the system than a problem with my forms.

Delete the Form 1099-G

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Tools

Click on Delete a form

 

Re-enter the Form 1099-G manually.  If this was for unemployment compensation -

 

To enter unemployment compensation

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Under Unemployment
  • On Unemployment and Paid Family Leave, click the start or update button

Or enter unemployment in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to unemployment

Yeah I have tried entering the form manually, it still says "needs review" but won't specify WHAT needs review and I don't see anything wrong with the info.

Is that after you deleted it and re-entered?

I had this problem and after many rechecks that the info I entered was correct,  I was able to file by clicking CONTINUE every time it prompted me to review the 1099G. After a few times it stopped asking me to review and I was able to complete my e-file.
I was able to file even though the program still showed the message needs review.
