Hi @DaveF1006, i have a clarification question on your post. I owed $20k in Oregon taxes last year (2019), of which i paid $18k through payroll deduction, but then got a $4k kicker when I filed, which means I was refunded $2k. This year when TT imports my previous taxes, it auto filled this section with the Total Refund Received in 2020 of $2k and the Total of all Your Payments and Withholdings of $20k for 2019, both correct values applied appropriately from last year's tax return. However, the 1099-G I received from Oregon only shows both the State and Total Tax Refund values of $4k (kicker). I itemized in both federal ($15k) and OR state taxes ($9k).
So at this point I'm basically not entering the 1099-G value anywhere, instead TT is recommending a different value to use. Does that seem wrong? Is OR basically sending me a value I don't need to use? Or should I update TT recommendation of my refund ($2k) to the kicker value ($4k) as shown in the 1099-G? Or should I enter in it as a second and separate item? You mentioned we should enter the value in the 1099-G form sent by Oregon, which in this case is $4k (kicker) but that info was available in my TT filings last year, so why is TT auto filling or recommending a different value? It filled in the actual refund I got in the Total Refund Received ($2k) section which seems appropriate given the name.
