When you file for and receive unemployment, you also create records of the benefits that you receive.
Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits are taxable. The information gets reported yearly 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, which summarizes your payments for the previous year. You will receive your 1099-G by January 31 each year.
2025 Update
Iowa Workforce Development mailed 1099-G forms to all Iowans who received UI benefits from December 27, 2023 to December 24, 2024 and whose taxes were withheld. These taxes can be federal or state taxes. This information was provided to the IRS and the Iowa Department of Revenue.
