You do not have to enter your Federal refund, Federal refunds are not taxable. You may have to enter a State refund. However, if you itemized your deductions and elected to deduct the state income taxes in an earlier year federal tax return, then generally it must be included in income on your next federal tax Form 1040.

A federal tax refund is not entered on a federal tax return.
