When you file for and receive unemployment, you will also create important records that document the benefits that you've received.
Unemployment insurance benefits are taxable, meaning that information will also be reported annually to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. The form that details your benefits payments is an IRS Form 1099-G. You will receive an 1099-G form by January 31 each year that summarizes your benefits payments for the prior year.
2025 Update
Iowa Workforce Development has mailed 1099-G forms to all Iowans who received unemployment insurance benefits from December 27, 2023 through December 24, 2024 and any federal and/or state taxes that were withheld. This information was provided to the IRS and the Iowa Department of Revenue will also be provided this information.
If you have not received your notice or if your contact information has changed, please contact Iowa Workforce Development to request a duplicate copy be mailed to you.
