You don't need to pay tax on your rebate check, or pay it back.
Probably what happened is your tax return showed the rebate check being refunded to you, assuming you did not receive it. So, when you indicated that you did receive it, it was subtracted from your refund.
In other words, TurboTax assumed you didn't receive the rebate check, so it was added to your refund, until you indicated that you already received it, so then it was subtracted back off.
