If you received a state tax refund for your 2019 state tax return, it may be taxable income on your 2020 Federal tax return.

If you took the Standard Deduction on your 2019 Federal tax return, the state refund will NOT be taxable.

If you claimed Itemized Deductions on your 2019 Federal tax return, the state refund, or part of the refund, may be taxable.
