Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@sansin  Did you take the Standard Deduction or itemize on you 2022 federal tax return?  

A State Tax Refund is taxable if you itemized deductions on that prior year's federal return and took a deduction for state income taxes instead of the sale tax.  You got a deduction benefit for it so now you have to include it as income. If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable and you don't need to report it.
