You would only be concerned with your state refund since only you itemized for 2023.
If the amount you deducted for state tax was limited because of the SALT limit of 10,000, and your refund was less than the reduction for limit, the refund is not taxable and you needn't report it.
In other words, if you paid 12,000 state tax but could only claim 10,000, any refund 2,000 or less is not taxable.
If you only enter your refund, only enter your state payments and withholding. Yes, from YOUR 2023 tax documents.
The program is trying to decide if the state tax deduction would have been altered by your refund amount and if that would have resulted in more tax owed on YOUR 2023 tax year return.
