2019 tax refund from Fed held up because they incorrectly thought my spouse died in 2019. It was in 2020. After 8 months of calls & letter writing it was resolved. The refund came.
I assumed my State refund was held up for same reason & that the Feds would let the State know everything was cleared up. Apparently not, because after a year I've heard nothing from the State. Yet they had the audacity to send me a 1099G!
Since I never rec'd my refund, do I still have to include the 1099G amount on my 2020 return? Seems to me if I never received it then there's no reason to include it. Plus, maybe leaving it off the Return will finally get their money grubbing hands to contact me.
Your advice please.
---Thank you in advance...
