Hi, i collected unemployment in the state of Ohio for part of the year in 2006. I received my 1099G form from unemployment. (the equivilent of a W2 form) This lists my federal income tax withheld on it, but i dont see anywhere on it anything about state tax withheld. Does Ohios unemployment system hold out state tax on your unemployment check? I was able to fill out my federal return with no problem, but without knowing how much i paid in state tax (if any) im kinda lost on the state return. Im worried now that they didnt take any state tax out and im gonna have to pay it all now.
Has anyone here collected unemployment recently? If so how do you work this in on your state return?

States don't normally tax unemployment compensation, so that might explain why they didn't take anything out.
Check on that though - I looked at the Ohio tax form and instructions, and didn't spot a place to take it out.

Long time since I had this problem, at that time the state exempt the unemployment pay from taxes based on my family deductions. The result I had to pay only the amount correlated to the pay from the job I worked.
If I had no income but from the job, $6,500 would be taxed at 2.3%, since I had unemployment the $6,500 was taxed at 5.6%. This kept me even and I did not have to pay additional tax.
