yes. Unemployment Insurance is filed with your state, when you become unemployed. Taxes are filed based on calendar years.

Answer is YES! If you have taxes withheld from the UIB amount you still have to put the amount on your 1040 and add the withheld taxes to other withheld taxes.
You would file in Rhode Island, the "liable state", because it is the one who collected unemployment taxes from your employer.

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 file for unemployment benefits in the state where you work. It's called the "liable state" because it collects payroll taxes from the businesses in that state and in turn pays the benefits to the workers there who have lost their jobs.
Under the Interstate Unemployment Agreement provisions you could file in either, but preferably in New York since it is the "liable state" which collected the unemployment taxes from your employer.
