If you collected unemployment benefits in the previous calendar year, you must report those benefits as income on your current federal tax return.

To do that, you will need your 1099-G tax form. You may have received this form in the mail or electronically to the email address we have on file.

If you don’t have a copy, you can still access your 1099-G form online by logging into your account (for current or previous tax years’ form) and following the instructions below.
