Question

I only have 1099-G unemployment income for my state. The first $10,200 is tax free for 2020 and I only made $19,371. That leaves $9,371. Do I still have to file taxes?

Since $9,371 is below the $12,200 minimum to file taxes. Thanks!

Yes you still have to file a tax return--you had enough income to require you to file even if some of it is not taxable. And we do not know what state you are in---some states are still taxing unemployment.
