Tax Year Prior to 2020: Should I be listing my previous Tax Return amount I received from my 2019 tax return? Under the area "Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns"?

I am not sure if I should put all the amount (Federal and state/local) I received back from my tax return last year under this area in "Wages & Income". Or if it's just the State/Local. I ask this obvious question to double check since it automatically put around five dollars in this spot. and I'm not sure if this is correct, however I would assume that turbo tax would pull it from last year and would know the correct amount.

You would report the state and local refund you received in 2019 for your 2018 tax return. If you filed your 2018 tax return with TurboTax, the program will pull that information over to your 2019 return. If you received a different amount than what was initially calculated in 2018, you should report that amount.
