The FTB began sending out corrected 1099-Gs on March 19, 2025.
As we previously reported, due to a calculation oversight, some of the Forms 1099-G, Certain Government Payments, issued by the FTB for the 2024 tax year contained incorrect information. According to the FTB, this issue was limited to taxpayers who itemized their deductions and transferred estimates from the 2023 tax year to the 2024 tax year. The transferred amount may not have been included in the 1099-G amount.
The FTB estimates that this impacted about 3% of the 1099-Gs, which according to our calculations comes to about 100,000 forms.
Tax professionals should verify that the information reported on previously received 1099-Gs is correct. If not, they should hold off filing until they receive the corrected 1099-Gs. Tax professionals can also check their client’s MyFTB account to see if the corrected 1099-G has been posted.
