The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) mailed Form 1099-G to all Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants paid benefits in 2008. TWC mailed Forms 1099-G to claimants from January 8, 2009 through January 22, 2009. You do not need Form 1099-G to file your federal income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You simply report the amount of benefits paid. You can get that amount by calling Tele-Serv and selecting option "2." The TWC Federal ID number is 74-2764775.
ENTER THE AMOUNT of benefits TWC paid you in Line 19 of IRS Form 1040, or Line 10 of IRS Form 1040EZ. See IRS Instructions, page 26: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf.
IF YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE Form 1099-G by February 1, 2009, TWC may have an incorrect address for you. Change your address online at http://ui.texasworkforce.org. Follow the instructions to update or change your address. Or, contact a TWC Tele-Center. Once you have changed your address, you must request a duplicate form 1099-G.
IF YOU WANT A DUPLICATE Form 1099-G, call Tele-Serv and press option "2" or call a TWC Tele-Center. Make sure that TWC has your correct address before you request the duplicate.
IF YOU BELIEVE THE AMOUNT IS WRONG, please note that TWC enters the entire amount we paid you, including overpayments.
IF YOU REPAID SOME OR ALL OF AN OVERPAYMENT, subtract the amount you repaid in 2008 from the amount TWC paid you and enter it on Line 19 of IRS Form 1040, or Line 10 of IRS Form 1040EZ. See IRS Instructions, page 26: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf. If you repaid an overpayment in a different year, please contact IRS or your tax preparer for assistance.
