Im confused. I entered all my unemployment checks as income so it shows up in my total income and then I am supposed to enter the 1099 G form and QBSE factors it or no

I just typed and extensive and organized outline to clarify and when I pressed post it lost it and said it couldn't submit it...im gonna wait and call customer service .

This is a really basic and  easily explained.

The question I want to know: Is Turbo Tax(TT) calculating the total reported on a 1099 G for Unemployment Income, (where you have opportunity to enter that separately TT ), as a portion of your total income that is tax free income in these covid years, if I marked all my 1099 G unemployment deposit transactions as income in QBSE income expense tracking?

Or should I have only included other checks, cash, or 1099 NEC income deposits as income in QBSE and excluded the deposits from 1099 G unemployment checks only to enter that on the 1099G for Unemployment ?

I only have a few types of income, a few individual checks, some 1099NEC thousands, and 1099 G for Unemployment Income . I either need to go exclude all the 1099G check deposit transactions in QBSE and report the 1099G where it asks to separately in TT or I can leave it how I have it and enter the 1099 G information and TT knows to factor that portion as tax free.

Thanks for adding the additional details, joseph-armentano.

Let me also share some information about the 1099 G form.

Your total unemployment compensation payments for the year, which generally need to be reported as taxable income on Form 1040, will show on Box 1 of the 1099-G Form.

To learn more about the 1099-G Tax Form and the boxes affected, please check out these articles:
