New York State Department of Labor Press Release
The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is reminding New Yorkers that 1099-G tax forms will be automatically mailed to those who claimed unemployment insurance (UI) benefits in 2024. UI benefits are taxable, and the 1099-G form provides the total amount of money a customer received in benefits or paid back to the NYSDOL during the previous year, as well as any adjustments or tax withholding made to those benefits. Those who received UI benefits in 2024 must include a 1099-G form when filing taxes.
In previous years, customers were required to call if they wanted the form to be sent via mail to report their UI benefits as part of the tax filing process. As part of NYSDOL’s ongoing effort to improve customer experience, customers can expect the forms to arrive in their mailboxes by the end of January. Alternatively, by mid-January, customers will also be able to access their 1099-G tax forms on our website.
NYS DOL Commissioner Roberta Reardon said, “It’s no secret the tax filing process can be complicated. The department has automated the process of getting the necessary documents to anyone who has received unemployment benefits in the last year to make it as easy as possible for people to get their tax return and put money back in their pockets.”
For more information about the form, visit the 1099-G webpage. One can log in to their account associated with an unemployment claim by visiting labor.ny.gov/signin and clicking “Unemployment Services.” Instructions to print and/or save a copy of a 1099-G for one’s records are available on the 1099-G webpage.
