Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)
What exactly was refunded to you and why?
So the FICA refund should NOT have been collected. Do I then show it as a income received for that year on the 1040 form? Legalize does NOT answer the question.

A Form 1099-G is only received from the state or federal government to report certain types of income to you. Box 1 is for Unemployment Compensation. Box 2 is for a state or local tax refund. Box 5 is for RTAA payments. Box 6 is for Taxable Grants. Box 7 is for Agricultural Payments.
None of those types of payments have anything to do with FICA.
Which box on the Form 1099-G you received has an amount entered?
Refunded FICA taxes that were withheld in error is NOT income and is not reported on an INCOME tax return.
Make sure that your W-2 reflects in boxes 4 and 6 the net amount of FICA withheld (original amount withheld minus the amount refunded that was originally withheld in error). If your W-2 is not correct, obtain a correction from your employer.
