For taxpayers who were expecting to receive a Form 1099-G for reporting Delaware income tax refunds received last year, Delaware will only be sending out a 1099-G if you received a refund from Delaware and itemized for federal purposes.

Under the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, the federal standard deduction has dramatically increased, resulting in a large number of taxpayers no longer needing to itemize for federal purposes. While the Division of Revenue sent out over 180,000 1099-G forms in 2019, only 112,000 were sent in 2020 as a result of fewer refund claims at the state level and fewer people itemizing for federal purposes.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call our taxpayer assistance line at (302) 577-8200.
