THIS PROGRAM AUTOMATICALLY APPLIES THE 2020 STATE REFUND I GOT,  BUT I HAD TO PAY IT BACK IN 2021, SHOULD I DELETE IT IF I HAD TO PAY IT BACK

Yes, if you had to repay your State Refund from 2020, delete the amount that TurboTax filled in for you.

Indicate NO, you did not get a State Refund.  Save documentation of the amount you had to repay. 

You can enter the extra state tax you had to pay in Deductions & Credits >> Estimates and Other Taxes Paid >> Other Income Taxes >> Balance Due on your 2020 State Taxes Paid in 2021. 

State Refunds are not taxable unless you claimed Itemized Deductions.

Here's more info on State Refunds.
