It depends, but usually not. The IRS never charges taxes on your refund. (They do assess penalties and interest when you have to return a refund, but this is not the same). There are a few states (Iowa comes to mind), that does give a state deduction based on the overall Federal tax due. When you receive a refund of the amount due claimed on state taxes, the state may consider this taxable income. Very few states have this provision, however. In general, Federal tax refund is not taxed. Here is a webpage with more information: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Taxes-101/What-Is-Taxable-Income-/INF15613.html
