North Carolina residents who received unemployment benefits in 2025 can now view or download their 1099-G tax form online through their secure MyNCUIBenefits account at the N.C. Division of Employment Security (DES) website. Paper copies will be mailed to those who requested one starting tomorrow and running through January 31, with delivery expected to all recipients by early February.
DES prepares an IRS Form 1099-G for each person who received unemployment benefits. The 1099-G form shows the total unemployment benefits issued in 2025, as well as any state or federal taxes withheld. This information is used to complete state and federal tax returns, as unemployment benefits are considered income. The agency generated approximately 107,250 forms this year.
To access the 1099-G form electronically:
- Login to your MyNCUIBenefits account, accessible online at des.nc.gov
- Click on View My 1099G in the menu on the left side.
People who believe the information on their 1099-G form may be wrong can contact the UI Support Center at 888-737-0259.
Reminder: Filing taxes online is safe and secure. Learn more at NCDOR.gov for detailed information on free filing options.
Important: If you get a 1099-G form but did not file for unemployment benefits, you may be the victim of identity theft. If you think you are the victim of unemployment benefits fraud, you should report it using the online fraud reporting form or contact DES at 919-701-3543. DES must investigate and confirm fraud to correct the 1099-G.
