There's actually a new NYS tax credit for 2023 called the Working Families Tax Credit that might help offset some of the tax burden if you qualify. Worth looking into if you were on unemployment part of the year but also worked.

If you had any taxes withheld from your unemployment checks, make sure that shows up correctly on your 1099-G. My friend had withholding but it wasn't reflected on his form and he had to contact ny unemployment to get it fixed.

If you're really stuck, you can also try emailing NYS.1099G@labor.ny.gov with your request. Include your full name, last 4 of SSN, mailing address, and phone number. I had to do this last year and they responded within 3 business days with my form. Way easier than calling!

don't stress too much, they're always late with these forms. I'm waiting too and my accountant said we have until April to file anyway. The IRS doesn't even start processing returns until late January, so even if you file "early" you're not getting your refund any faster.

Check that your direct deposit info is correct in the system!!! My backpay was supposedly "sent" but to an old account. Once I updated it they resent everything within a week.

NY unemployment is still backed up from covid even tho that was years ago 🙄 there's like 8 people answering phones for the whole state i swear. absolute joke.

tbh ur not alone but u might want to check if ur IP is somehow flagged or blocked. sometimes they do that if they think ur account looks suspicious for some reason. try using a different internet connection or reset ur router.

I think they're updating the system or something. I called last week and the recording said they'd be doing maintenance but didn't say when. Classic NY unemployment failing to communicate anything useful 🙄

fun fact: the ny unemployment system is STILL using a computer system from the 1970s. Actual COBOL mainframes. no wonder everything is a mess 🤦‍♀️

Whats ur effective days remaining? If it's stuck at the same number each week that's another sign of investigation.
