1099-G Tax Forms

DES has mailed 1099-G tax forms to claimants who received Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits in 2023 to the address that DES has on file for you.

  • Beginning February 1, 2024, if you received UI benefits in the calendar year 2023, you can log in to the Weekly Claims portal and view and print your 1099-G information in the "View Benefits Paid 1099" tab. 
  • If you received PUA benefits in the calendar year 2023, you can log in to the PUA portal and access your 1099-G document through the "My Message" center. 

If you have not received your 1099-G by February 14, 2024, or have received it and believe it is incorrect, please follow the instructions in the “Reporting 1099-G Issues” section below.

Claimants who received Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits will have a separate 1099-G tax form than claimants who received Unemployment Insurance (UI). If you received PUA and UI benefits, you would receive two 1099-G forms.

Reporting 1099-G Issues

Report issues related to your 1099-G form to DES by completing this 1099-G issue form.

If you received UI or PUA and did not receive a 1099-G form by February 14, 2024, please submit a1099-G issue form to DES.

If you believe you didn’t receive your 1099-G because your address is incorrect, please enter the correct address in the form, click the "update" box under the address field and submit the report.

You may also submit a 1099-G issue form if you:

  • Were issued an Arizona 1099-G for UI or PUA benefits, but you never applied for UI or PUA;
  • Received a 1099-G for your UI or PUA benefits, but the benefit amount listed is incorrect; or
  • Were issued a 1099-G for an individual who does not live at the address where it was issued. 

If you received a 1099-G document from another state, you must contact that state agency to report the issue. Use the Unemployment Benefits Finder to find the state’s contact information.

Individuals who received a 1099-G form for 2023 unemployment benefits that they did not receive should also report the identity theft incident to the IRS and take steps to prevent further unemployment benefits fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to report for unemployment benefits when I file my 2023 taxes? 

You will need to use the information listed in your 1099-G form when filing your 2023 taxes. DES will mail 1099-G tax forms to individuals who received Arizona unemployment benefits by January 31, 2024.

What if I received a 1099-G and did not file for unemployment insurance in 2023?

If you receive a 1099-G for benefits you did not file for, please submit a 1099-G issue form.

If the 1099-G contains your Social Security number, but you did not apply for unemployment benefits during the calendar year 2023, you may have been the victim of identity theft. If needed, DES will review your report, amend or void the 1099-G information, and suspend the benefit claim associated with the Social Security number. Additionally, you should report suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission, the National Center for Disaster Fraud and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to protect yourself from further victimization.

I received a 1099-G for Unemployment benefits, but the unemployment compensation amount reported for the calendar year 2023 needs to be corrected. What should I do?

If you received a 1099-G for Arizona Unemployment Benefits received in the calendar year 2023 and you believe the unemployment compensation amount is incorrect, please submit a 1099-G issue form.

If DES determines that the amount reported is incorrect, you will be issued an amended 1099-G.

If you received unemployment benefits in 2023 that you were not entitled to and repaid any or all of those benefits, you would receive a 1099-G form for the full amount of benefits paid to you in 2023.

I received Unemployment benefits in the calendar year 2023, but I have not received my 1099-G.
