Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You need to look at the Schedule A from your 2018 Tax year. 

If you took the Standard Deduction on your 2018 tax year return, the refund is not reported. 

If you did itemize on your 2018 tax year return, but the box on line 5a is checked, the state refund is not reported. 

If you did itemize and you used state income tax and not state sales tax, use the number on line 5a. 

 

You can look at your 2018 tax return in "Your tax returns and documents" located on the Home Page of your account if you used TurboTax last year. 

If you don't see Schedule A, look at your 2018 1040 line 8, if you claimed the Standard Deduction, your state refund is not reported on your 2019 return. 

Photo 2 line 22 could be the amount you want, but that would only be if you did in fact itemize on your 2018 return. 

Here is the line you would need to look at on your 2018 Schedule A IF you filed one.
