The OR kicker is considered a state refund and might be taxable. See State and Local Refund Worksheet to verify the taxable portion 

 

Do I need to report the state or local refund I got last year? Is it taxable? states: If all three of the following are true, your refund counts as taxable income:

  • You itemized deductions last year, instead of taking the standard deduction.
  • You claimed state and local income taxes (not general sales taxes).
  • Claiming the deduction helped you increase your federal refund or lower your tax bill.

Many people pay more state and local taxes than the $10,000 cap. Only taxes that were deducted on itemized deductions are taxable. If you paid in say $15,000 of state and local tax with a refund of $4,000, it was not used on your itemized deductions and isn't taxable.

 

Take a look at your Federal smart worksheet to verify the answers.
