Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have a similar situation.  My 2019 return was done in TT and was used to complete this year's returns.  I itemized my deductions in last year's return and listed my $2000 state tax refund as income on Schedule 1.  I had real estate and property taxes also. Line 5d  Schedule A was greater than $10,000 and TT told me to take the $10,000 amount on line 5e of Schedule A.   This year, it's telling me that last year's state refund is NOT taxable, but that seems to contradict the information in TT 2020 .   How do I tell if the state refund is taxable or not?   Thank you.
