what is a 1099G?

Question

i am efiling my taxes and i don't know what a this form is for.

Answer 1

It's a form that lists payments to you from a government agency. If you itemize you'll normally get one from your state for the refund that they paid you. State refunds are taxable income IF you itemized deductions in the year that the refund was paid to you. If you don't itemize you don't need to worry about it.
