Tennessee Unemployment Benefit Tax Information Now Available

1099-G FORMS PROVIDED ONLINE AND MAILED TO CLAIMANTS

Recipients of Tennessee unemployment benefits during 2013 can now access the information they need for income tax purposes on the state Department of Labor & Workforce Development homepage: https://tdlwd.tn.gov/ui1099/. They can also go straight to the log-in page:https://tdlwd.tn.gov/ui1099/login.aspx.

By entering their birth date or the same PIN they used to certify or inquire on their unemployment claim, claimants can view a summary of total unemployment benefits paid to them, view the total amount of federal income tax withheld, and print a summary of this information.

(IMPORTANT – The birth date must be entered in the exact format requested on the form.)

The department also began mailing the IRS Form 1099-G to more than 172,000 benefit recipients on January 14, 2014. The forms will reach claimants no later than January 31, 2014. The U.S. Postal Service will not forward 1099-G forms.

Recipients of unemployment benefits are not required to submit a copy of their 1099-G form with their income tax return. If claimants do not receive their form in the mail and do not have access to the Internet, they may send a written request, including their name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and phone number, with signature, to

Special Services Unit
