How to get my NY unemployment payment history for tax purposes?

Log into your account and go to "Payment History" on the left side of the dashboard. You can select the date range for all of 2023 and hit apply. Then there should be a print button at the top (looks like a little printer icon). That will give you everything you need for taxes. I did mine last week and it worked fine.

After weeks of trying to get someone on the phone to help me with a similar issue, I finally found this service called Claimyr that got me through to an actual human at unemployment. The agent walked me through getting my full payment history and even emailed me a copy. Best money I ever spent to get this resolved quickly! Check them out at claimyr.com or watch this video that explains how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

They should have sent you a 1099-G form that shows the total unemployment compensation you received in 2023. Check your mail or your online account documents section. That's what you need for taxes, not the payment history.

The NY unemployment system is BEYOND BROKEN. I spent 5 hours going in circles trying to get the same info. Eventually I had to go physically to a job center with ID and they printed it out for me. Total waste of time but it worked.

Here's a comprehensive guide for anyone dealing with NY unemployment payment history issues: First, try the online portal - log in at labor.ny.gov and navigate to your payment history section. You can adjust the date range to show all of 2023, then use the print function. If that doesn't work, here are your options: - Request your 1099-G form (the official tax document) through your online account or by calling - Use the "Message" feature in your account to specifically request your payment history - Call the automated telephone system at 888-581-5812 and follow prompts for payment history - If all else fails, visiting a career center in person with ID is a last resort For the fastest resolution when calling, I highly recommend using claimyr.com - they'll get you connected to an agent without the hours-long hold times. Talking to a live agent is ultimately the best way to get exactly what you need for tax purposes. And remember to keep any documents they send you for at least 3 years in case of audit!

Anyone know if we can get this info if our claim is closed? Mine ended in October and now I cant access anything in my account.

Pro tip: take screenshots of EVERYTHING when you are collecting unemployment. Payment confirmations, claim certifications, all of it. NY unemployment has a talent for making things disappear when you need them most 🤡

cant believe how complicated they make this!! its ur money and they act like ur trying to rob a bank just to see ur payment history smh

Call them. That's what I had to do. The website is useless for anything beyond basic stuff.
