Form 1099-G Frequently Asked Questions
Are Reemployment Assistance benefits taxed?
Reemployment Assistance benefits are taxable income. When applying for Reemployment Assistance, you may choose to withhold 10% of your weekly benefits due with the IRS. This option can also be updated in your Reemployment Assistance account under the "View and Maintain Account Information" section by selecting "Payment Method and Tax Withholding Options.”
What if I do not agree with the payments listed or I would like to change the amounts provided on my 1099-G?
If you received a Form 1099-G and you believe it may be incorrect and/or you would like to amend the 1099-G you received, please visit the Reemployment Assistance Help Center, locate “Tax Documents,” and select the option that best describes your request.
Why did I get a 1099-G Form for a year that I did not request benefits?
Claimants may receive a Form 1099-G when their last weeks of benefits were paid at the beginning of the year. For example, if you received a benefit payment after January 1, 2022, you may receive a 1099-G Form. Other times, the Department may complete a pending adjudication issue that provides Reemployment Assistance benefit payments at a later date. Reviewing your “Payment History” in your Reemployment Assistance account is the easiest way to view the reason why a Form 1099-G was issued.
What if received a 1099-G Form and I did not file a claim for Reemployment Assistance?
If you received a 1099-G Form and did not file a claim for Reemployment Assistance, please visit the Reemployment Assistance Help Center, locate the option to “Report ID THEFT / FRAUD,” and an official report will be submitted to the Department. For more information about Reemployment Assistance fraud, please review Florida’s Identity Theft Victim Kit prepared by the Department.
