What is Form 1099-G?

Form 1099-G is the IRS information return for government payments to individuals — unemployment benefits, state/local tax refunds, taxable grants, agricultural payments and a few others. State agencies issue it, but it's also completed by hand when correcting or replacing a copy. The unemployment amount in Box 1 and any federal withholding in Box 4 flow onto the recipient's return, so the figures must match. JustFill lets you complete the 1099-G online so the payer, recipient and amount boxes are clear before filing and furnishing the recipient copy.
