If you used TT last year and pulled forward the data, TT is smart enough to know if you received a state refund last year and if you itemized , hence there is no reason for TT to ask about it
Did you receive any AMT deduction in 2018? TT should also be smart enough to offset that state refund income with a credit .look at Form 6251; do you see the state refund offset on line 2b of this form?
Remember that Regular tax reporting and AMT tax reporting are two separate worlds. For Regular reporrting, the state refund is taxable (because it was a deduction in Regular tax world last year). For AMT reporting it's a deduction from line 10 of form 6251 because it was an addition last year.
is that what is occurring? I suspect it is or should be. I tested it in Turbo Tax Deluxe and it works as described above
