INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

Unemployment benefits are taxable income under federal and state law ($2400 of benefits paid in 2009 are not subject to federal income tax). The benefits paid to you are reported to the Internal Revenue Service and to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. No income tax is withheld from your benefit payments unless you request it.

You can request, stop, or change your income tax withholding by:

No later than January 31, you will be mailed an IRS Form 1099-G showing the total benefits paid to you for the prior year and the federal and state income taxes withheld. It will be sent to your last known address. You can view and print your 1099-G form by logging in to your account.
