If you have been claiming unemployment for a while, you’ll hopefully be familiar with the process of using a local government website in order to make your claims. Although some states will enable you to download your unemployment W2 form (and the 1099-G form that is also required,) you should be aware that downloading the necessary documentation online isn’t always possible.
Depending on how advanced your state’s online infrastructure is, you’ll either receive a private message with the forms you need to fill in, or there will be a section on the website devoted to tax forms that can be used in different circumstances. Downloading and printing off this paperwork is the same as acquiring the documentation from an unemployment office, with identical deadlines and penalties if the forms aren’t completed on time.
Remember: If you have created an online account with your state before, you’ll need to log in using personal information to verify your identity. Typical fields you’ll need to complete include your social security number, password, and even the amount of money you’re currently claiming in unemployment benefits per week.
Still having challenges? If so, you should get in touch with your local treasury, who will be able to point you in the right direction. Alternatively, ringing up the headquarters of the IRS will also be worthwhile considering they’ll have information stored on the individual procedures for unemployment claimants in every state. Their telephone number is 1-800-829-1040, and if you want to read the articles and advice on their website, visit www.irs.gov and conduct a search that’s relevant to your query.
