Still waiting for ny unemployment 1099g from February request - anyone else?

Same boat here. Requested mine on January 28th and still nothing. Called like 15 times and couldn't get past the automated system. This is so frustrating!

I finally got through to someone after using this service called Claimyr. No more waiting on hold for hours! They called and when an agent was on the line, it connected to my phone. Talking to the agent got my form sent out that same day and I received it 4 days later. Best money I've ever spent to finally get my tax forms. Check them out here: claimyr.com

They told me it could take up to 10 weeks for processing and mailing. The whole system is a complete joke. I ended up having to get my accountant to file an extension.

Pro tip: If you know your exact benefit amount from last year, you can actually still file your taxes without the 1099-G. Just report the income you know you received. I confirmed this with a tax professional.

I literally just got mine yesterday after requesting it on January 10th. ALMOST THREE MONTHS later. The nysdol is completely broken.

If you're in a rush, try this: call the tax form request line early morning (like 7:30am) and use option 3 instead of the specific 1099g option. Sometimes those agents can help too and that line isnt as busy. Worked for me!

Here's what actually works (I'm a former NYSDOL employee): The 1099-G delay is happening to thousands of New Yorkers right now due to a system migration they did in December. The best course of action is to: 1. Keep trying the dedicated 1099-G hotline at 1-877-358-5306, specifically between 2-4pm when it's least busy 2. Try accessing the 1099-G through the online portal again - sometimes the authentication errors are temporary and clear up after 24-48 hours 3. If you absolutely cannot wait, you can visit a local NY Dept of Labor office in person with ID and they can print it for you on the spot 4. Use a service like claimyr.com if you're completely stuck - it's the only reliable way to get through on the phone these days since NYSDOL is severely understaffed The backlog is serious this year because they're dealing with both regular requests and a huge number of identity theft claim investigations from the pandemic that are still ongoing. Hope this helps!

I was able to access mine through my NY.gov account even though the unemployment website wasn't working. Try logging into NY.gov directly and look for tax documents there.

Bruh I been waitin 2 months for mine. NY unemployment is straight TRASH this year. How they expectin us to file taxes when they cant even mail a simple form? smh

Call your state representative's office! Not kidding - my assemblyman's office helped me get mine after 8 weeks of waiting. They have special contacts at agencies that can push things through.

Last year my 1099g had the wrong amount on it and it took until JUNE to get it fixed. The whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.

Have you checked if you can get it through the messaging system? Log in, send a message requesting the 1099G, and sometimes they'll upload it directly to your messages rather than mailing it.

The NY unemployment system is a complete joke. We're all over here struggling while they take months to do simple tasks. I filed for an extension because of this garbage.

idk if this will help but I downloaded the NY State app on my phone and was able to access my 1099 that way even though the website wasn't working for me. worth a try! 🤷‍♀️

I was having the EXACT same issue! After failed attempts calling for weeks, I used claimyr.com and got connected to an agent in 45 mins who processed my request immediately. My 1099g showed up in the mail 5 days later. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after trying everything else.

File IRS form 4506-T. It's a request for transcript of tax return. The IRS can get the info from the state directly. Takes about 10 days but it works.

just got mine after TWO AND A HALF months lmaooo. the envelope was dated 3 weeks ago so it's been sitting in postal hell too. ny unemployment AND usps both failing us 👏👏👏

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE YEAR?? You'd think they'd figure out how to mail a form after decades of doing this. I'm so sick of this state's incompetence.
