    The state will need time to investigate the fraud and issue any corrections; Taxpayers should file an accurate tax return (one without unemployment income) even if they don't receive a corrected 1099-G in time. (The corrected form will reflect $0 in unemployment compensation.)

    The guidance from the IRS is to go ahead and file your correct return and attach a statement regarding the unemployment fraud.  It would be great if you had a confirmation from the unemployment office acknowledging that you are a victim.
