It sounds like your point is that it is appropriate to mis-record the tax refund as a taxable grant or similar government payment. However, the 1099-G I received shows the amount in box 2 and is a state tax credit. And if I look at the Turbotax forms view, I can see that box 2 of a 1099-G is specifically reserved for state tax credits, but only years 2023 and older. Are state tax credits handled the same **everywhere** as taxable grants? TurboTax really just needs to update the form to allow 2024 state tax credits to be entered.
