How to get 1099-G form from ESD for tax filing? Didn't receive mine

The form you need is definitely the 1099-G. ESD should have sent it by January 31st, but you can access it online through your eServices account too. Just log in, go to your dashboard, and look for the tab that says "1099-G tax forms" or sometimes it's under "UI Tax Information." You can download and print it right from there. If you can't find it online, call the tax hotline at 360-902-9840. They can help with 1099-G questions specifically.

same thing happnd to me last yr!! i never got mine in mail either but was able to print it from website. just login and its somewhere on the menu. also make sure ur address is updated in the systm in case they sent it to wrong place

I had to request mine THREE TIMES last year before I got it! First time they said they mailed it, never showed up. Second time they emailed it but the attachment was corrupted. Finally got it on the third try through the eServices portal. ESD is THE WORST with this stuff. Their system is completely broken. I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!

I had trouble getting through to ESD on the phone when I needed my 1099-G last year. After trying for days, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual ESD agent in under 15 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Totally worth it for me because I needed my 1099-G urgently and couldn't wait on hold all day. The agent I spoke with was able to email me a copy immediately.

Just to clarify some information for everyone: The 1099-G forms for unemployment benefits are typically available in your eServices account by January 31st each year. You can access them by logging in, going to your dashboard, and selecting "UI Tax Information" from the menu. If you don't have an eServices account or can't access it, you can request a copy by calling 360-902-9840. A few important things to know: 1. ESD sends these forms to the last address they have on file 2. You need this form to report unemployment income on your taxes 3. If the amount on your 1099-G seems incorrect, you should contact ESD immediately 4. You can request 1099-G forms for up to 6 previous years If you received unemployment benefits, you must report this income on your tax return even if you don't receive the 1099-G form.

Just want to mention something that happened to my brother - he got his 1099-G but the amount was totally wrong. They had him claiming way more than he actually received! Had to dispute it and it took FOREVER to get corrected. Make sure you check the amount against what you actually got paid last year. If you kept track of your weekly payments you should be able to add them up and see if it matches.

UPDATE: I found it! Thanks everyone for your help. It was in my eServices account under UI Tax Information just like you all said. I had to click through a couple of screens but eventually found the 1099-G section where I could download a PDF. The amount looks right based on what I remember receiving. One less thing to stress about for tax season!
