When will EDD 1099-G forms be available after working part-time during benefits?

Employers submit their quarterly wage reports to EDD by the end of the month following each quarter (January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31). That said, EDD is supposed to issue all 1099-G forms by January 31st regardless, as that's the IRS deadline. Some employers might be late with their Q4 reporting, but EDD should still send your form based on what they know through Q3 and then potentially issue a corrected form later if needed. Have you checked UI Online? Your 1099-G might already be available electronically even if you haven't received the paper copy yet.

same thing happened 2 me last year they didn't send my 1099 until mid february. super annoying bc I wanted to file early too. EDD always takes forever for everything lol

They're required BY LAW to get those 1099-Gs out by January 31st! Don't let them give you excuses about quarterly reports - that's THEIR problem not yours. If they don't have it to you by the legal deadline, call them and demand to speak to a supervisor. This happens EVERY YEAR and they get away with it because people don't hold them accountable!!

btw have u tried checking the tax tab on ui online? sometimes they put them there before mailing

I went through this exact situation last year when I was working part-time at Target while collecting partial UI. You can actually estimate what your 1099-G will show by adding up all the payments you received in 2024 (check your payment history in UI Online). That's what I did and then gave my tax guy the estimated amount so he could prepare everything else. Then when the actual 1099-G came (mine was February 10th), we just verified the number was correct. Saved me like 3 weeks of waiting!

Has anyone here tried Claimyr? I was having similar issues trying to contact EDD about my missing 1099-G last year, called like 36 times and kept getting the "we're experiencing high call volume" message. I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got through to a rep in like 20 minutes. They have this video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. It basically bypasses the phone tree so you don't have to keep redialing. Might be worth it if you keep hitting dead ends trying to reach them.

I'm an accountant and we deal with this every year. The EDD usually has most 1099-Gs available by mid-January, but for people with partial wages where there might be reporting discrepancies, they sometimes take longer. Don't panic if you don't have it by January 31st. Many of my clients don't get theirs until the first or second week of February. If you're receiving a paper copy, add another 5-7 days for mail delivery. And remember you legally have until April 15th to file your taxes, so there's still plenty of time.

This happened to me in 2022 and 2023 and I had to file my taxes without the 1099-G once and just estimated my UI income. Had to file an amendment later when I finally got the 1099-G. Such a pain! My sister works for the state (not EDD) and she said that state agencies are always behind on everything because they're understaffed and use outdated computer systems. Did you try calling the dedicated 1099-G phone line? It's different from the regular EDD number.

Update: Thanks everyone for the advice! I managed to get through to EDD this morning (only had to call 7 times lol). They confirmed they're processing the final quarterly report from my employer and my 1099-G should be available online within 10 days. The representative also showed me how to see my total benefit amount for 2024 in the UI Online system which matches what I calculated using my payment history. I feel much better now knowing everything is on track!
