When will 1099g forms be available for ny unemployment tax season?

I just got mine yesterday after checking for weeks. Try logging in to your account and going to the documents section. They should be there now. If not, you might need to call them directly. I know its a pain but sometimes thats the only way to get things fixed.

Been through this frustrating process before! After struggling to reach anyone for days, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual human at unemployment. Finally got my tax documents sorted after the agent manually sent my 1099g. It was the best money I've ever spent to get this resolved - talking to an agent got my documents unlocked so fast!

They're supposed to be available by January 31st by law. I'm in the same boat as you - nothing showing up in my account. I tried calling yesterday and waited 2 hours before giving up. NY unemployment system is a joke. Maybe try checking if they have a Twitter account to message? Sometimes social media gets faster responses than official channels.

Yo I had the same issue last year! What worked for me was requesting a duplicate 1099G through the automated phone system. For some reason it wasn't showing online but when I called and requested a copy they mailed it within a week. Try calling 1-888-209-8124 and use the option for tax forms. This was faster than waiting for them to fix the online system.

According to the NYSDOL website, all 1099G forms should be available by January 31st. If you don't see yours by February 15th, then you should contact them directly. Sometimes their system gets overwhelmed this time of year and there are delays. You can also try requesting a paper copy be mailed to you if the online version isn't showing up.

GUYS LISTEN UP! The ny unemployment system is COMPLETLEY broken right now. My friend works at an H&R Block and says they're getting tons of people coming in with this exact issue. The NYSDOL is apparently having a system-wide problem with 1099Gs this year. They're telling people to wait until mid-February for the online versions to be fully uploaded. If you need it urgently, calling is literally your only option 🙄🤬

Here's the thing about NY unemployment forms - they've been a mess since covid. Most people will have them available online by now, but some accounts have glitches. If you collected for multiple periods or had any issues with your claim during the year, it can delay your 1099G. I recommend trying these steps: 1. Clear your browser cache and try logging in again - sometimes it's just a display issue 2. Call the dedicated tax form line at 1-877-358-5306 instead of the regular unemployment number 3. If you can't get through by calling, try using Claimyr.com - it's a service that connects you with NY unemployment agents by waiting on hold for you (saved me countless hours) 4. You can estimate your unemployment income from your bank deposits if your tax preparer is really pushing you 5. As a last resort, file for an extension if you can't get your form by April Remember, even if you can't get the form, you still legally need to report all unemployment income on your taxes. The IRS gets a copy of your 1099G automatically.

Mine wasn't showing up online either but I randomly got it in the mail yesterday! Maybe check your mailbox? They might be sending paper copies to some people automatically.

Anyone else notice the unemployment website is always broken during tax season? Every. Single. Year. It's like they don't test their systems or prepare for the obvious rush of people needing forms in January. I'm so tired of this incompetence.

You can actually get your 1099G by calling 1-888-209-8124 and following the automated prompts. Have your PIN and SSN ready. It takes about 5 minutes. Much faster than waiting for the website to get fixed.

I swear the ny unemployment system is designed to be frustrating. Called that automated number someone suggested below and it just kept saying "we're sorry, that information is not available" after entering all my info 🤦‍♀️ This is such a waste of time.

FYI - if you really need to file now and can't get your 1099G, you can use your bank statements to calculate how much unemployment you received and file with that amount. Just make sure to amend your return if the official amount ends up being different. My accountant suggested this when I had the same issue last year.

i managed to get mine after talking to an actual person. only way i could do that was using claimyr.com though - finally got connected after trying for days on my own. the agent said they're having technical issues with the online system and manually emailed me my 1099g. might be worth a try if ur desperate

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.
