Question

Box 10a and 10b are blank on my 1099-G but box 11 has an amount. I did pay state taxes to Michigan throughout the unemployment benefit period. What should I put here?

Obviously box 10a should be Michigan, but what number goes in 10b for state identification number?

Michigan uses the federal ID number so you can use the same Payer's TIN (Federal I.D. #38-6000134).

 

See What is the State of Michigan federal identification number used on the Substitute Form 1099-G?

Hi Mary,

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message. The payer's TIN on the 1099-G is 

38-2538297. That is for the unemployment office I am sure, and the TIN you are giving me is for the state of Michigan. I should be using the State of Michigan correct? I am confirming as you mentioned the payer TIN.

 

I wasn't sure if we do the state of Michigan TIN or the Recipient TIN. So confusing. Thank you!

You do want to use the Payer's TIN that is on the 1099-G.This is to make sure you get the correct credit for the taxes that was withheld.  Please feel free to ask any questions, most glad to be helpful.

Help.  I still don't understand what to put in the boxes.  

 

On the screen "Enter your 1099-G info" there is a box for the Federal ID No.  Is this number 38-6000134?  This number is not listed on the 1099-G form.

 

On the "Enter Any Withholding" screen Box 10b - State ID Number.  Is this 38-2538297?  This number is on the 1099-G form under Payer's TIN.

 

Thank you

You do have the correct numbers for Michigan.  

For the first page of the form on TurboTax:

 

State of Michigan
Department of Treasury
Lansing MI 48922
Federal I.D. #38-6000134

 

Use the 38-2538297 for Box 10B.

 

Where do I enter a 1099-G for a state or local tax refund?

Hello,

 

There seems to be conflicting information.

 

This post says to use 38-2538297 for both fields.
