What is a 1099-G Form?
Form 1099-G is used to report local, state, and federal government payments made to taxpayers during a particular tax year. The filers will receive the form from the government agencies to inform the filers of their funds. They will then receive a copy that will be needed to report their federal income tax returns. It should be used to calculate the filer’s federal adjusted gross income or report the amount of refund the filer received from a prior tax year. If income is acquired from Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA) payments; taxable grants, agricultural payments, or payments on a Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan then it must be reported to the IRS.
Quantities that do not need to be reported on Form 1099-G, may include compensation for services, prizes, and certain incentives, these amounts may be reportable on tax returns of 1099-MISC (Miscellaneous Information), or 1099-NEC (Non-Employee Compensation). 1099-G tax returns must be mailed to recipients by February 15th and e-filed with the IRS by March 31st each year.
