Don't freak out too much. Even if you can't get your 1099-G in time for your tax appointment, you can still file without it by estimating the amount you received. Just make sure to file an amended return later when you get the actual form. Better than missing the deadline!
sauce? how do you know you can estimate unemployment income?
Ravi Gupta
•not OP but I'm a tax preparer and this is accurate. you can file with your best estimate then amend later if needed.

Anyone try to call the unemployment office about this? I've been on hold for TWO HOURS and still nothing.

•Try claimyr.com if you really need to talk to someone. They'll get you through to an agent way faster than calling yourself
Zoe Stavros
•I'll check it out, thanks. Getting desperate here!
Y'all need to chill lol. It's literally ONE DAY after a holiday. The system always runs a day behind after holidays. If you don't have your money by Thursday, THEN start panicking.
Amara Okafor
•easy to say "chill" when ur not about to get evicted 🙄
Fair point. Didn't mean to sound insensitive. Just trying to reassure people this is normal.

the whole system is such BS 🤬 employers get away with so much garbage. "no work right now" is their way of avoiding responsibility for a workplace injury. stick it to them and file for workers comp!
Miguel Ramos
Make sure your husband sees doctors who specifically ACCEPT workers comp cases. Not all do, and it can create huge problems if you see the wrong ones. Ask specifically when making appointments.
That's really good to know - his primary care doctor referred him to a specialist, but I'm not sure if either of them take workers comp. Will call and check right away.

Hot tip: if the website isn't working right, try using it between 11pm-6am when less people are on. The translation features work better when the system isn't overloaded.

anyone else think its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get benefits we already paid into with our taxes?? the whole unemployment system is designed to be as difficult as possible 🤡
Andre Moreau
•its by design. they make it complicated so people give up and they save money. disgusting but true.
yup and then politicans brag about 'low unemployment benefit usage' like its a good thing 🙄
Fatima Al-Suwaidi
The system is rigged against older people and it's disgusting. My dad went through this in February. What finally worked was going to our local state assembly person's office. They have special contacts at unemployment and got his issue resolved in like 3 days.
