DE UI - Tax Liability on Benefits

Any unemployment insurance benefits you receive will be fully taxable, provided you are required to file an income tax return. While State taxes will not be withheld from your unemployment insurance check, you may elect to have Federal taxes withheld from your check at a set rate of 10%.

You will be furnished a statement, form 1099-G, reporting the benefits paid to you and taxes withheld. The Internal Revenue Service will be given the same information.

It is your responsibility to determine the amount of your tax and pay the amount due on your annual federal and state income tax returns, using the information provided to you on the 1099-G form. Form 1099-G will be issued to you by the Division of Unemployment Insurance at the end of January. The Internal Revenue Service will also receive a copy of this form. Benefits paid on interstate claims will be reported by the paying state.

Notify your local unemployment insurance office, in writing, if you change your address. If you have questions regarding the payment amount listed on the 1099-G, you may seek assistance by calling the Division of Unemployment Insurance at (302) 761-8484. Ask to speak with a Benefit Accounting Specialist.

Address all questions regarding your federal income tax return to the Internal Revenue Service and all questions regarding your state income tax return to the State of Delaware, Division of Revenue.
