By law, all Employee Income(W-2), Government Payments (1099-G), Contract labor (1099), and Bank interest (1099-INT) documents are to be mailed to the taxpayer by 31 January of the applicable tax year.

I have not received my unemployment W2 for 2011. Can I get it on line ? If not, who do I call or where do I go to get it so I can file my taxes? Thank you,
Yes. Unemployment benefits are taxable income. If you had taxes withheld from your checks, you may be entitled to a refund.
You should consider filing for Social Security instead of unemployment. You cannot file for unemployment if you left the job on your own. You should have left the job involuntarily to be eligible to apply for Unemployment Insurance in the State of Chicago.
