Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Please make sure that you didn't enter the information twice. The state refund should be entered in its own section and not in the 1099-G section.  [See screenshot, below.] Please check your list of forms to see if you have entered BOTH a 1099-G and a State Refund Worksheet for the amount of the state refund.  If so, delete the 1099-G.

 

If you want to delete an individual form, please follow these instructions:
