If you transferred last year’s tax data to this year's return, your state and local refund amounts are automatically brought over with your other tax info. You can find this information when you sign in using the same TurboTax account (same user ID) as in previous years.
There are two ways to get your prior-year returns:
If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for.
Alternatively, your state/locality may have sent you a 1099-G form (if they haven’t gone paperless). You should receive your 1099-G by mid-February if your state/locality still sends out paper forms. If you did get a 1099-G, make sure it's for a state/local tax refund, not unemployment compensation.
Here are some other places you might find the amount of last year’s state/local refund:
You might not need it. A State Tax Refund is taxable if you itemized deductions on that prior year's federal return and took a deduction for state income taxes instead of the sale tax. You got a deduction benefit for it so now you have to include it as income. If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable and you don't need to report it.
