The representative for the deceased person may request the 1099-G by mailing the following to: UI, P.O. Box 8400, Madison, WI 53708:

1. Certified death certificate;
2. Signed letter showing you are authorized to administer the estate, or a domiciliary letter granting duties of a personal representative; and
3. Address to which the 1099-G and death certificate should be mailed, if not on the domiciliary letter.

After receiving this information, UI will mail the 1099-G (and return the original certified death certificate) to the address provided.

IDES will send your 1099-G form through email or mail (whichever you selected as your preferred method of correspondence). If you have additional questions about accessing your 1099-G form, please call IDES at (800) 244-5631.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 contains provisions regarding taxable unemployment compensation. Please direct all tax filing questions to the IRS, and visit their website for the most recent guidance and FAQs.

If you did not receive UI benefits in 2021, yet still received a 1099-G form from IDES, this may indicate that a fraudulent claim was filed in your name. Please immediately contact IDES at (800) 244-5631. Follow the prompts to schedule a callback in the correct queue.

IDES representatives will return calls on a first-in, first-out basis to ensure the fraudulent claim is shut down, and to address the 1099-G form.

Once a fraudulent claim is reported, investigated, and confirmed as fraudulent by IDES, the victim will not be held responsible for repaying any benefits fraudsters may have received in their name. The victim will also not be held responsible for tax implications resulting from a fraudulent claim. 

What is the 1099-G form used for?

The 1099-G form is needed to complete your state and federal tax returns if you received UI benefits last year. It contains information about the benefit payments you received, and any taxes withheld. Visit the IRS website for more information.

If I received UI under the federal COVID-19 relief programs, will I receive a 1099-G form?

Yes. All individuals who received UI benefits in a calendar year will receive the 1099-G tax form. This includes claimants who received regular UI benefits and claimants who received benefits under the federal pandemic relief programs (PUA, PEUC, EB, FPUC, MEUC, and LWA).

Does the 1099-G form reflect any repayments I’ve made on an overpayment?

No. The IRS requires that we report all benefits paid to you in the calendar year, excluding any overpayments or adjustments to claims. For more information about unemployment compensation and tax filing, please call the IRS at (800) 829-1040 or visit www.irs.gov.

I did not receive UI benefits last calendar year. Why did I receive a 1099-G form for that year?

If you did not receive UI benefits in a calendar year, yet you received a 1099-G form for that year, this may be an indication that a fraudulent claim was filed in your name. If this is the case, immediately contact IDES at (800) 244-5631. Follow the prompts to indicate you received a 1099-G form in error.
The IRS has provided guidance to states regarding these nationwide identity theft and unemployment fraud schemes. Once a fraudulent claim is reported, investigated, and confirmed by IDES, the victim will not be held responsible for repaying any benefits fraudsters may have received in their name, nor will they be held responsible for tax implications resulting from a fraudulent claim. IDES understands the urgency associated with the tax season and will ensure victims who received this form in error are quickly assisted.

Where should I go to ask questions about tax filing?

See 26 U.S.C. §7201, §7206, and §7207. Under Illinois law, intent to defraud for tax purposes may be inferred from conduct such as concealment of assets or covering up sources of income, or any other conduct, the likely effect of which would be to mislead or conceal.
