The GDOL has developed a secure form for reporting potential UI tax fraud. When criminals fraudulently claim benefits in someone else's name, we must investigate and confirm fraud before we can update the IRS. International and domestic crime rings use previously stolen personal information obtained in prior nationwide breaches of various companies to fraudulently claim unemployment benefits in states across the country. How to know if you’re a victim: Criminals use two primary strategies to commit this fraud. They use previously stolen personal information to:
If you get a 1099-G for unemployment benefits you didn’t receive in 2021: Report fraud to us by visiting Report UI Fraud & Abuse and selecting Report 1099 ID Theft at the bottom of the form. Follow the instructions to report the 1099-G Fraud. If you got unemployment in 2021, but your 1099-G includes benefits for weeks you didn’t claim: Report fraud to us by visiting Report UI Fraud & Abuse and selecting Report 1099 ID Theft at the bottom of the form. Follow the instructions to report the incorrect benefit amount reported on the 1099-G. If you received a 1099-G for benefits you returned to the GDOL: In accordance with IRS rules, an individual that receives UI benefits and does not use them will still receive a 1099-G but can show the money as being paid back. If you repaid or returned UI benefits to GDOL, the IRS instructs a claimant to subtract the amount repaid to the GDOL from the total amount received in UI benefits and enter the difference on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 7. On the dotted line next to the entry, enter "Repaid" and the amount you repaid. The amount will be subtracted from the amount of unemployment compensation reported on your 1099-G. The GDOL is required by law to report payments and taxes withheld to the IRS/GA Department of Revenue, even if the money was returned or paid toward an overpayment. After the request is submitted and processed, you will receive a document that will serve as an acknowledgement from the GDOL that you have requested to return or repay the UI benefits issued during a tax year. This document can be used for tax records as proof of repayment. For further information or assistance, you should speak with a tax professional who may assist you in preparing your state or federal income tax returns. If you received a 1099-G for benefits you never received to return them or destroyed the Way2Go card: If an employer filed claim was filed on your behalf and you never received the funds to return them to the GDOL or destroyed the Way2Go card, you should submit a Request to Repay UI Benefits. After the request is submitted and processed, you will receive a document that will serve as an acknowledgement from the GDOL that you have requested to return or repay the UI benefits issued in tax year 2021. This document can be used for tax records as proof of repayment. Have you already reported fraud to us? If you know you’re a victim and already reported fraud to us, we are currently investigating the case and there is no need to submit an additional report. What to expect if you got an incorrect 1099-G due to fraud: After an investigation, we’ll send you a corrected 1099-G form. This is the form you should use to file your taxes for 2021.

Use the corrected 1099-G form to file your taxes. If you file your taxes before receiving a corrected 1099-G, the IRS may identify errors later on. In this case, the IRS should have more guidance for you about your next steps. When to expect a corrected 1099-G: We must thoroughly investigate each fraud report in turn before confirming fraud, and this takes time. We’re working as quickly as we can, but some investigations won’t finish before tax filing day on April 15. This would also delay getting a corrected 1099-G Form. If your corrected 1099-G arrives after April 15: The IRS website has a taxpayer guide to identity theft and info about how and when individuals should file 2021 taxes.
