Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If the program is asking for the amount of state tax you paid in 2020, and those additional payments were made in 2020, those additional payments would be included, HOWEVER are you sure that is what the TurboTax program is asking? I suspect it might be asking for your state payments made in 2019. 

 

If you made those additional payments in 2019, and TurboTax is asking for the state tax paid in 2019, Yes, add those additional payments. 

 

When you receive your 2019 tax year State refund, the refund is usually received in 2020. The amount of the refund may or may not be considered as taxable income on your 2020 tax year federal return. 

IS IT TAXABLE INCOME? that depends.

IF you claimed the Standard Deduction on your 2019 tax year, no, it is NOT taxable. It won't be reported on your 2020 tax year return. 

IF you Itemized Deductions on your 2019 tax year return, it COULD be taxable income on your 2020 tax return. 

     Did you use the State Income tax paid as a deduction? Then no, it isn't.

     Did you use the State Sales tax paid as a deduction? Then yes, at least part may be taxable. 

 

TurboTax is asking about your numbers from your 2019 tax return so it can determine if the 1099-G is taxable on your 2020 tax year return.
