When will NY unemployment 1099G forms be available for 2025 tax filing?

NY DOL typically releases 1099-G forms by January 31st each year. They should be available in your online account under the 'Tax Forms' section. If you don't see it by February 1st, you can call the dedicated 1099-G phone line at 888-209-8124. They've been pretty consistent with this timeline for the past few years.

they never send mine in the mail anymore, u have 2 log in to ur account. last yr mine was there Jan 22

I just called DOL yesterday about this! They said all 1099Gs will be available by January 31 at the LATEST, but most accounts will see them uploaded between January 15-25. You need to log into your NY.gov ID account, then go to Unemployment Services, then My Documents, and check the Tax Forms section. If you have problems accessing your account (like I did because I forgot my password), you'll need to call them, and that's a nightmare right now because everyone is trying to reach them for tax forms.

THE WEBSITE SAYS JAN 31 BUT THEY NEVER HAVE THEM READY ON TIME!!!! Last year mine wasn't available until FEB 12th and the year before it was LATE TOO. Don't believe their deadlines, they ALWAYS miss them and then you're stuck waiting to file your taxes!!!!

Anybody else notice they had errors on their 1099G last year? Mine showed $1,240 more than I actually received and it was such a headache to get fixed. Took almost 2 months and delayed my tax filing. I'm worried about the same thing happening again this year.

I had the same issue trying to get through to NYSDOL about my 1099G last year - spent days trying to get someone on the phone. Eventually I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an agent in about 20 minutes instead of spending hours on hold. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE. It was honestly worth it because I needed my corrected 1099G to file my taxes and couldn't wait weeks for NYSDOL to get back to me through their online message system.

Tax advisor here. A few important points about NY unemployment 1099-Gs: 1. They must be issued by January 31st by law 2. They're now primarily digital - paper copies are only mailed if you specifically requested that option 3. If you don't receive your form by February 5th, don't wait - contact NYSDOL immediately 4. You can request a duplicate or corrected 1099-G through your online account or by phone 5. Remember to check that the tax withholding amount (if you elected withholding) is correctly reflected Double-check all information carefully - errors on 1099-Gs are more common than you might think and can cause issues with the IRS if your reported income doesn't match their records.

Just wanted to update everyone - I just checked my account and my 1099-G for 2024 is already posted! They must be releasing them in batches. Mine shows it was generated yesterday. The navigation is a bit different this year though. I had to go to My Online Forms > Tax Documents > 2024 to find it.
