It seems to me a state refund is taxable only to the extent the benefit you got in previous year was more than the actual tax was
I itemized 2017 and 2018, used payment of state tax, not sales tax, and was way above the standard deduction in 2017
state taxes claimed on 2017 schedule A 4,521.
Withheld in 2017 4,521.
Paid with 4/15/18 Extension 214
actual 2018 taxes (after credits) - $4381
My refund for 17 taxes received in 2018 was 354 refund I assert I ONLY owe tax on only Tax on 140
Turbo tax says I owe tax on 338 of 354 ?
there are no other estimated taxes paid
