Yes you do and the first 2400 of taxable unemployment compensation that you received in the tax year 2009 is subtracted from your total amount received during the year and the remainder is entered on the line on the 1040 tax form that you are using for unemployment benefits 1040 line 19, 1040A line 13 and 1040EZ line 3.

Which form is used to report wages and federal unemployement tax liability?

Income from unemployment is reported on your individual income tax return (Federal Form 1040). If you want/need to pay in towards what you expect to owe in federal income taxes on your unemployment income during the year, you can make estimated income tax payments on Forms 1040-ES. You do need to put your social security number, tax form number and tax year on your check, but you do not need to tell tham that it is for taxes on unemployment income. Do be careful to avoid penalties and interest for underpayment of taxes as the IRS generally prefers to get paid throughout the year, just as the rest of us do.
