Do I Need to Pay Taxes on My Unemployment?

Yes.  You either add it to your income at the end of the year or you can fill out Form W-4V to have tax withheld from your unemployment checks.  You should receive a 1099-G at the end of the year with the years total unemployment and any taxes withheld.

Here is a link to the 2014 revised Form W-4V:
