Unemployment Benefits – Understanding the 1099-G Form |
|
Pennsylvanians who received Unemployment Compensation (UC) benefits in 2025 will get a form called a 1099-G.
This form shows how much UC income you received, and you need it to file your federal and state tax returns.
The forms should now be available in your online UC dashboard. Paper copies are also being mailed and should arrive over the next few weeks.
A detailed FAQ is available on the L&I website to help you review your form and request corrections if something is wrong.
Since 1099-G forms are created automatically, getting one if you did not apply for UC benefits could be a sign of identity theft. If you believe someone used your identity to file for benefits, report it to L&I right away. You can file a report online or call the PA Fraud Hotline at 1-800-692-7469. If you are a victim of identity theft, you should still file your tax return on time. Only report the income you actually earned, not any false income listed on the 1099-G.
You can find more information about identity theft and 1099-G forms on the IRS website. |
