3/1/22 – To accurately report the NY Excluded Workers Fund (EWF) payments reported on 1099-G, Box 6, it is a two-step process.

  1. Visit the “Form 1099-G Box 1” menu in the Income section and complete the 1099-G to match the hard copy. Note: This will NOT carry Box 6 amount to Federal return (this is where step 2 comes into play), but WILL carry the NY withholdings to the NY state return.
  2. After adding the 1099-G, go to Less Common Income > Other Income Not Reported Elsewhere > Select “Other Income” from the drop-down. Enter the amount from the 1099-G, Box 6 again here so that it accurately carries to the 1040 as well as flowing to the NY return.

Following the above steps will allow your site to electronically file impacted NY returns.


2/21/22 – Box 6 input is now live for 1099-G. However, impacted returns should still be held as additional guidance will be coming soon on how to accurately report within TaxSlayer Pro to make sure everything is carrying where it needs to go.

 

 

 

 

 

 


For 2021, NY State Department of Labor issued 1099-G’s with an amount in Box 6 for the Excluded Workers Fund (EWF). We will be updating our current 1099-G entry page to support Box 6 entries. We expect this update to be released this week. This post will be updated after it is released.
