Form 1099-G

We no longer mail Form 1099-G, Statement for Recipients of State Income Tax Refunds

For most people, the amount shown on your 2010 Form 1099-G is the same as the 2010 New York State income tax refund you actually received. To find out if you need to report this information on a 2011 federal income tax return, see the instructions for that return, or contact the IRS or a tax preparer.

Metropolitan commuter transportation mobility tax filers (MCTMT)—If you had an MCTMT overpayment last year, you may also need that 1099-G amount when completing your 2011 federal income tax return.

If you need this information to complete your federal return

  • check your records
  • get your form online*
  • call (518) 457-5181 (income taxpayers) or (518) 485-2392 (MCTMT taxpayers)

If you call us or try to get your form online and receive a message stating that you don't have a Form 1099-G even though you received a refund, see our more information page to learn why the Form 1099-G amount may differ from your refund amount.
