Should I enter a State Refund somewhere?

In 2022, I got a refund from 2021 NY State Taxes. Should that be entered somewhere as "income" or something in the 2022 forms? It seems like I used to have to do that, but I don't see a place for it.

If you used itemized deductions for your 2021 federal return you need to enter the amount of the state refund you received. If you used standard deduction for your 2021 federal return you do not enter the state refund.

But the question is, WHERE would I enter that?

And as I look closer at what this refund check is, it was actually a "2022 Homeowner Tax Rebate" and not a refund. But the same questions is, "Where would I enter that?"

Homeowner tax rebate is not the same thing as a state income tax refund. You are not going to enter that anywhere on your 2022 federal tax return.
