Instructions for Recipient

Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer

has assigned to distinguish your account.

Box 2. Shows refunds, credits, or offsets of state or local income tax you

received. It may be taxable to you if you deducted the state or local income

tax paid on Schedule A (Form 1040). Even if you did not receive the amount

shown, for example, because it was credited to your state or local estimated

tax, it is still taxable if it was deducted. If you received interest on this amount,

you should receive Form 1099-INT for the interest. However, the payer may

include interest of less than $600 in the blank box on Form 1099-G.

Regardless of whether the interest is reported to you, report it as interest

income on your tax return. See your tax return instructions.

Box 6. Shows taxable grants you received from a federal, state, or local

government.

Box 7. Shows Department of Agriculture payments that are taxable to

you. If the payer shown is anyone other than the Department of

Agriculture, it means the payer has received a payment, as a nominee,

that is taxable to you. This may represent the entire agricultural subsidy

payment received on your behalf by the nominee, or it may be your pro

rata share of the original payment. See Pub. 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide,

and the Instructions for Schedule F, Profit or Loss From Farming, for

information about where to report this income. Partnerships, see Form

8825, Rental Real Estate Income and Expenses of a Partnership or an 

S Corporation, for how to report.

Box 3. Identifies the tax year for which the refunds, credits, or offsets shown

in box 2 were made. If there is no entry in this box, the refund is for 2007

taxes.

Box 4. Shows backup withholding or withholding you requested on

unemployment compensation, Commodity Credit Corporation loans, or

certain crop disaster payments. Generally, a payer must backup withhold

on certain payments at a 28% rate if you did not give your taxpayer

identification number to the payer. See Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer

Identification Number and Certification, for information on backup

withholding. Include this amount on your income tax return as tax

withheld.

Box 8. If this box is checked, the amount in box 2 is attributable to an

income tax that applies exclusively to income from a trade or business

and is not a tax of general application. If taxable, report the amount in

box 2 on Schedule C, C-EZ, or F (Form 1040), as appropriate.

Box 5. Shows alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) payments

you received. Include on Form 1040 on the “Other income” line. See the

Form 1040 instructions.

Box 1. Shows the total unemployment compensation paid to you this year. If

you expect to receive these benefits in the future, you can ask the payer to

withhold federal income tax from each payment. Or, you can make estimated

tax payments using Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. If you made

contributions to a governmental unemployment compensation program and

received a payment from that program, the payor must issue a separate Form

1099-G to report this amount to you. Include the entire amount in income. If

you itemize deductions, you may deduct your contributions on Schedule A

(Form 1040) as taxes paid. If you do not itemize, you only need to include the

amount in income that is in excess of your contributions. Combine the box 1

taxable amounts from all Forms 1099-G, and report it as income on the

unemployment compensation line of your tax return.
