Received a 1099G from my state (LA) with only box #1 filled in. It mentioned my 2015 tax return. Do I put it on my 2016 return or amend my 2015 state return?

[Fern · Accepted solution]

This form is used to report a state income tax refund that you received in 2016. You should include it in your 2016 tax return.

Although the refund is from your 2015 tax return, you did not receive it until 2016.
