I moved from NM to Oregon in 2015. In 2016, I received a 1099-G for my 2015 NM state tax refund. Do I file state taxes for NM in 2016 for just the 1099-G? If so, how?

I moved from New Mexico to Oregon in the middle of 2015.  In 2016, I received a 1099-G for my 2015 New Mexico state taxes.  Do I need to file a 2016 state return for New Mexico?  If so, how do I do this without paying New Mexico income tax on the money I made while living in Oregon the whole year?

You do not need to file a New Mexico state tax return for the 1099 G.

The 1099 G was issued by New Mexico for the refund of state taxes you received in 2015. The only place it is considered as income is on your Federal Tax return and it is only considered income on your Federal Tax return if you itemized deductions in 2015 and included the state taxes paid to New Mexico in your itemized deductions.
