The state amount may be taxable on your 2017 tax return. It is only taxable to the extent you received a benefit for the deduction in the prior year. So for example if you took the standard deduction, you received no added benefit of itemizing state and local taxes paid so it's not income this year, another reason it may not be income is if you paid AMT and had your state and local tax deduction limited last year.
The state refund should be reported as a 1099G if you received a tax benefit for the related deduction last year.
I hope this made sense and was helpful?
