Get your taxes done using TurboTax

.......and make sure yo get your actual state refund 1099-G too to use.  That will be the correct number

 

Triple is a fudgy number too   $30 vs $10?  $75 vs $25?  $7500 vs $2500.

____________________

IF you don't use the 1099-G state refund form $$number , and calculate the refund number yourself? ….What you got back into your pocket is not always the proper refund amount to be used.

1) Pre-refund, State Check-off donations that reduced the refund, have to be added back.

2) Use-Tax assessments that reduced the refund...have to be added back.

3)  IF you let the state keep some of the 2019 refund to be applied against 2020 state taxes...you add those back in too. (But then that amount ends up as a separate state tax deduction in 2020...so it balances out )
