I received 2 IRS refunds due to the $10,200 unemployment exemption. One from my original return and one from the Turbo Tax amended return. Do I add both when I file 2021?

The amended return refund does not mention or show the original refund before the new law went into affect. Should I add the two refunds together when I am prompted by TT indicating what my 2020 Federal refund was?
Thank you

Yes, it would carry over the state refund, because in some cases that has to be reported as income on the next year's federal tax return.

TurboTax will not ask how much your 2020 refund was. Your 2020 refund doesn't affect your 2021 tax return.

From what I remember it carries over a federal return amount and asks you if this is correct.

Maybe you are correct. I think it carries over the state refund.
