Even though state tax refunds are reported on Form 1099-G, they are entered in a different location of your return than other Form 1099-Gs. After you enter the information, there will be some follow-up questions to determine whether the amount is taxable based on whether you used the standard deduction or itemized deductions in 2019.
Use these steps:
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “state and local tax refund” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to state and local tax refund”
- Click on the blue “Jump to state and local tax refund” link and enter your information
