Where to find 1099-G tax form for EDD SDI benefits received in 2024?

You're looking for Form 1099-G. EDD should have mailed it by January 31st, but you can also access it online through your UI Online account (not SDI Online). Go to edd.ca.gov, log in to UI Online, select 'More Services' and then '1099G' from the menu. You can view and print all your 1099-Gs there. If you don't have a UI Online account, you'll need to create one even if you only received SDI.

same thing happened to me! never got anything in the mail and my tax guy is asking for it

The whole system is RIDICULOUS!!! Why do they make everything so complicated?? I've been trying for THREE WEEKS to get my tax forms! My accountant is about to drop me as a client because I can't get the paperwork together. And good luck calling them - I've tried FIFTY times and can't get through. But they sure had no problem taking taxes OUT of my disability checks every week!!!!

To clarify what others have said, your disability benefits are reported on Form 1099-G, the same form used for unemployment benefits. While SDI benefits are taxable at the federal level, they are NOT taxable at the California state level. You should be able to find your 1099-G in your UI Online account (not SDI Online). If you can't access it online and didn't receive it by mail, you can request a duplicate by calling 1-866-401-2849, but be prepared for long wait times. I recommend setting up your UI Online account if you haven't already, as it's the quickest way to access your tax documents.

When I was on disablty last year for my pregnancy they took out taxes every check so do I still need to file the disability income on taxes? My husband handles all our tax stuff and he's asking me for some form but I don't think I ever got one.

I had this exact problem last week! I created a UI Online account even though I've never been on unemployment, and all my 1099-G forms were there going back several years. It was pretty simple once I figured out I needed to use UI Online instead of SDI Online. The form shows both the total benefits paid and any federal taxes that were already withheld. Hope this helps!

Just went through this same thing! One tip that saved me time - when you create your UI Online account, you'll need your SSN and some personal info, but you might also need details from a recent pay stub or tax return to verify your identity. Have those handy before you start the account setup process. Also, once you're in, the 1099-G section shows all your forms by year, so you can easily grab forms for previous years if you need them for amended returns or other purposes. The whole process took me maybe 10 minutes once I had all my info ready!

For anyone still struggling with this - I just want to emphasize that you absolutely need to report your SDI benefits on your federal tax return even if you didn't receive the 1099-G form yet. The IRS considers disability benefits as taxable income, so don't skip reporting it just because you're missing the form. You should have records of your weekly benefit amounts that you can use to calculate the total. But definitely try to get that 1099-G from UI Online first since it will also show any federal taxes that were already withheld, which could mean a refund for you! Also, keep in mind that while SDI is taxable federally, it's not taxable for California state taxes, so don't include it on your state return.
