When I did my state taxes last year, where I ended up owing because I don't actually work and have anything withheld, I decided to make a rounded-up estimated tax payment toward 2019 taxes so I wouldn't get into the same trouble. I also set myself up to make additional quarterly estimated payments. Oddly enough, the Commonwealth of Mass sent $187 of this payment toward 2019 taxes back to me. No explanation, but presumably because it was over and above what their algorithm said I would owe.
This was NOT a refund of 2018 taxes paid. However, this payment was reported on form 1099-G, as a refund or credit applying to 2018. When I input this in Turbo Tax as such, it says this amount is taxable, which is crazy. This was already my money, already taxed, which I handed to Mass. last April and they handed it back. How should I be entering this?
