Need 1099-G for unemployment from previous year - how complicated is the process?

Trying to get my 1099-G for unemployment from last year. Never done this before and wondering if its a nightmare process or pretty straightforward. Really need this to file my taxes.

Its actually pretty simple! Just log into your state unemployment website, go to the documents section, and you should be able to download it. If you cant access your account, call your state unemployment office - they can mail you a copy.

Pro tip: screenshot everything when you download it and save multiple copies. You never know when youll need it again!
