Does anyone have trouble downloading their 1099g from ny unemployment website?

Same. The website is completely useless. I've been trying for over a week now and it keeps giving me an error code or just freezes up. I called the number and got stuck in automated hell for over an hour before it just hung up on me. Why do they make everything so difficult? 🤬

I was having the same problem for days but I finally got through! I used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they actually got me connected with a real person at unemployment who helped me get my 1099g sent by email. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent and worth every penny because I needed that form ASAP. Check out this video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

You can request it by mail too. Go to the NY unemployment site, look under tax forms, and theres an option to have it mailed. Takes about 7-10 days to arrive tho so if ur in a rush might not work for you.

THEY ARE THE WORST!!!! I've been dealing with ny unemployment for 3 months now, and still havent gotten my issues resolved. I swear they purposely make everything complicated so people just give up. The website is from 1995 and crashes constantly.

I had this problem last week. What worked for me was trying at like 2am when traffic on the site is lower. Also try using a different browser - Chrome worked for me but Firefox didn't for some reason. If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache and cookies or using incognito mode.

Look, here's what you need to do to get your 1099-G form from NY Unemployment if the website isn't working: 1. Try clearing your cache/cookies and using a different browser first 2. If that fails, try during off-hours (very early morning or late night) 3. If you still can't access it online, you have three options: - Request it by mail through the website (takes 7-10 days) - Call the dedicated 1099-G hotline at 1-888-209-8124 (good luck getting through) - Use a service like claimyr.com that will wait on hold for you and connect you with a live agent I personally tried for days to get through the normal channels and kept hitting walls. Finally used Claimyr and got connected to an agent who emailed me my 1099-G within minutes. Talking to a real person is definitely the fastest way to resolve this. Also, remember that you technically have until October to file if you request an extension, so don't panic too much. But getting this resolved sooner is obviously better.

anyone know if we can file without the 1099g? i have all my payment info in my records, can i just use that instead of waiting for this stupid form?

I think they're doing system maintenance right now. The website has been extra terrible the past week. Try again on Monday maybe?

Check ur email spam folder!!! My 1099g notification went there and I almost missed it. Also the link in the email worked better than going through the regular website for me.

The whole NY unemployment system is a joke. Took me THREE MONTHS to get my benefits when I was laid off last year, now I can't even get the tax form I need. I'm so done with this state tbh

If you can't get the online version working at all, you might want to try Claimyr, claimyr.com I was skeptical but it actually connected me with an agent who fixed my issue. Saved me hours of hold music hell.

Have u tried using a mobile device instead of computer? For some weird reason, the mobile site worked for me when the desktop version kept crashing.
