Let's look at your 2018 Schedule A, line 5a. If you have the state and local income tax amount listed there, that means you took the state tax deduction. Besides, if you also itemize on Schedule A, your 2018 state tax refund will be taxable to you in 2019. You would need to report it on your 2019 tax return. However, if you chose the state tax deduction but did not itemize, you would not report it.
