Unemployment benefits are reported to you on Form 1099-G (Certain Government Payments). If you had unemployment benefits, you can file any of the 1040 series. Form 1040EZ is Income Tax Return for Single and Joint Filers with No Dependents. It's the easiest form. If you're single or married filing jointly with no dependents and your only source of income was unemployment, then you should file Form 1040EZ. Depending on the complexity of your situation, you may need to file either Form 1040A or Form 1040. For 2008 unemployment benefits, you enter the full amount from line 1 (unemployment compensation) onto line 3 of 1040EZ or line 13 of 1040A or line 19 of 1040. For 2009 returns, report the amount in box 1 of 1099-G that is in excess of $2,400. In other words, $2,400 of your unemployment benefits are excluded from your income, and therefore from tax, for 2009.
