Illinois - Anyone received their 1099-G forms for unemployment benefits income taxes?

Question

To this day, I still haven't received it! They were supposed to be mailed out in January.

Answer 1

Every January, IDES (illinois Department of Employment Security) sends tax form 1099-G to individuals who received unemployment benefits the previous calendar year, using the last address on file. For individuals who have moved, address changes can be made by calling or visiting the local office where the initial claim was filed, during normal working hours, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Call volume is less on Thursdays and Fridays.

Beginning in February, individuals with a current mailing address on file with IDES may re-order Tax Form 1099 for specific tax years by calling TeleServe (between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., CST), using the following procedure:
- call 888-337-7234, then
- select "1" for English (or "2" for Spanish, etc.)
- select "3" for "check status of your claim"
- enter your SSN, then
- enter your PIN, then
- select "3" for "benefits reported to IRS ...."
- enter the year ("2005", for example; earlier years may be requested)

A new 1099 will normally be mailed in 1-2 business days when using TeleServe.

Answer 3

You still receive a 1099-G and you still report it. You weren't actually "taxed" on this money already. Instead, just like they do with your paycheck when you are working, they withheld estimated taxes. Now you have to file to reconcile what was withheld with what is actually owed. You may owe a bit more; you may get a refund. You won't know for sure until you prepare your return.

Yes, you still get a 1099-G. Yes, you need to report it. Although some tax was deducted, that was just an estimated, and was not exactly the correct amount. The exact amount cannot be known until you do file your taxes.
