• Mail or fax: A written request must include your name, social security number (SSN) or customer identification number (I.D.), current mailing address, date of birth, telephone number and your signature.  Your ID number is the number we use to replace your social security number.  Do not include your four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN).
  
• Email: Please note that email is not secure. If you make your request by email, you should not include your social security number. Instead, please provide your full first and last names, your middle initial, your date of birth, years of education and your customer identification number (I.D.) if you have it.  Your ID number is the number we use to replace your social security number. Do not include your four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN).  We should be able to locate your claim information without using your social security number. Please include your telephone number (including area code) and current address, in case we need to contact you.

NOTE: You need a personal identification number (PIN) to access your 1099-G information. If you need assistance to establish or to reset your PIN, call the claims center.

For tax filing information, please contact your local IRS office. You can also call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040. Prior to calling the IRS, it may be helpful if you have copies of your previous year's tax records.

The amount on the 1099-G form does not include any overpayments or adjustments to claims. You need to resolve any differences with the IRS using receipts or other records to support your tax return. If you have questions about how to report the adjustments to IRS, call your local IRS office.

The IRS toll-free number for general tax questions is 800-829-1040. Other IRS toll-free numbers can be found in local telephone directories, or you can visit the IRS Web site.
