Why did I get a 1099-G tax form from the Idaho Department of Labor?
A 1099-G form is a summary of your unemployment insurance benefit payments. You were mailed this form if you collected or repaid benefits the prior year. The 1099-G form shows you the total taxable amount on the benefits you were paid in that calendar year.
Are unemployment insurance benefits taxable?
Yes, unemployment insurance benefits are taxable. Benefit payments are reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Can I access my 1099-G information online?
