It asked did I get a state refund in 2023

[Critter-3]

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."
