Form 1099-G is typically issued by the North Carolina Department of Commerce Division of Employment Security to report unemployment benefits received in the previous year. Generally, you can expect to receive this form by January 31 of the following year. This allows individuals sufficient time to prepare their taxes since the information will be necessary when filing. If one has not received the Form 1099-G by early February, it is advisable to check the North Carolina Department of Commerce Division of Employment Security website for any updates or specific instructions regarding the distribution of these forms. There may also be options available online to access or print out a copy of the form if it has been issued.
