Tax Year 2016: How do I answer the question "Did you get a state or local tax refund in 2015?"

How do I answer "Did you get a state or local tax refund in 2015?".  My daughter got married in 2016.

In 2015, husband and spouse were single and filed separately. Her husband itemized and owed $54 on his NY state return. My daughter filed a short form and got back a $464 refund on her NY state return.

Now in 2016, they are married filing a joint return. How do I answer this question now that they are filing jointly but in 2015 they filed separately.

You can answer No to that question since the only state refund that was received was for your daughter who didn't itemize deductions on Schedule A.  The state refunds only need to be added in if it was received from a tax return with filed a Schedule A.
