Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you do not remember making an estimated tax payment, filing an extension on your tax return, applying some of your refund toward 2021, or making additional payments, then it is likely None of the Above

 

Your refund will only be taxable if all three of the following are true:

  • You itemized deductions last year, instead of taking the standard deduction
  • You claimed state and local income taxes (not general sales taxes)
  • Claiming the deduction helped you increase your federal refund or lower your tax bill

Even when your refund is taxable, it may not be the entire amount. It depends on how much the deduction affected your refund or tax bill. TurboTax will calculate the taxable amount for you.
