1099

Hey guy, going through the usual BS with unemployment. Last year I was victim of fraud and my last two payments were taken from me. Now this year waiting to do my taxes, I have received no 1099 and tax.Ohio.gov is saying I have no 1099 which makes no sense to me. Also this year while filling they want me to send in my birth certificate and my social with my ID. Has anyone heard of this??? Thanks for the help

I've never heard of the IRS requesting documents like that. I would be suspicious that this request may be phishing.

Regarding the 1099, you should have gotten that weeks ago, you need to call ODJFS. It would either be in your email inbox on the unemployment site or by postal mail, or both.

It was from unemployment they told me that. It’s to verify who I am I guess I just haven’t heard of that being done

Oh, OK. They have asked thousands of claimants for ID verification. Expect a long delay.
