If I itemized deductions in 2017 and received a refund of 1126.00 reported on Form 1099G.and why isn't the entire 1126.00 taxable income for 2018?

900 was applied to 2018 taxes  I received a check for 226.00

The refund may not be taxable for the entire amount. It depends on how much the deduction affected your refund or tax bill in the previous year. TurboTax will walk you through questions and then calculate the taxable amount for you.
