From the amounts you actually received for a particular year...you need to add-in (to see if it matches the 1099-G):
1) Add back Any Sales-tax/use-tax you paid with your tax return for items purchased outside Indiana and did not pay sales tax on those items (if you did that section)
2) Add back any check-off donations you may have made with yoru refund, that reduced the refund. Those donations are treated as-if yoru received all of it, but then later made a donation. Those checkoffs can be used as a Federal itemized deduction for the next year's taxes.
3) If you applied part of yoru Indian refund to the next years taxes...add those back too. Effectively you received the $$, then paid and estimated tax payment later.

As an example, I received a 2022 1099-G for $154 from NC the other day as the refund from 2021 taxes.
But...the cash deposited to my Bank was $24.
1) I did a checkoff donation to 2 state charities on the tax return for $50 each
2) I bought some untaxed items during the year that ended up as $30 use-tax charge on my state tax return.
$24+$50+$50+$30 = $154
