• Re: Stepdaughter laid off for part of 2023 can she still use free file

    From Bob Sandler@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 10 19:47:29 2024
    Stepdaughter laid off in November 23, she has been using HR
    Block free file, (I've never dealt with declaring
    unemployment income) can she still use it? Thanks.

    It appears that she can. She will get a Form 1099-G from the
    state for the unemployment benefits. On the tax return it is
    reported on Schedule 1 line 7. H&R Block's list of free
    federal forms includes Schedule 1 and Form 1099-G for
    unemployment. Here is a link to the H&R Block list.

    Note that many states do not send the Form 1099-G in the
    mail. If not, she will have to download it from the state
    unemployment web site.
