THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REMINDS NEW YORKERS 1099-G...

The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) reminds New Yorkers that 1099-G tax forms will be automatically mailed to those who claimed unemployment insurance benefits in 2025. Unemployment insurance benefits are taxable, and the 1099-G form provides the total amount of money a customer received in benefits or paid back to the NYSDOL during the previous year, as well as any adjustments or tax withholding made to those benefits. Those who received unemployment insurance benefits in 2025 must include a 1099-G form when filing taxes.

Forms are expected to arrive in customer mailboxes by the end of January. Alternatively, customers with an online account can now access their1099-G tax forms on the NYSDOL website.

New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon said, "To better serve our customers, the Department has automated the process of mailing out required tax forms. This is part of our effort to improve accessibility and make it easier for customers who claimed unemployment insurance benefits last year to file their taxes."

To access your 1099-G form online, log in to the account associated with your unemployment claim by visiting labor.ny.gov/signin and clicking Unemployment Services. For more information, including instructions on how to print and/or save a copy, visit the Department's 1099-G webpage.
