Did you ? Did you file a state return and get a refund ? If you did not itemize deductions on the 2022 return then you can simply say no to that question and move on.

The answer that Critter-3 gave you is correct.
The refund you would have received in 2023 would have been for the 2022 tax return that you filed.
The question is asked because, if you Itemized Deductions in 2022, you took a deduction for the taxes you had withheld during the year.
If you received a refund a potion of the deduction may have been overstated, and taxable.
As Critter-3 said "This is not an issue unless you itemized in 2022."
