If you itemized and she did not in 2016, her 2016 tax refund will not need to be included on your jointly filed tax return because no portion of her refund will be considered taxable income in 2017.

Therefore, you only need to include your 2016 tax refund and your 2016 tax information when trying to determine if any of your state income tax refund needs to be considered taxable on your jointly filed 2017 tax return.
