After you file

If you filed Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) last year, the state most likely reported the refund on your 1099-G and to the IRS under both of your names and social security numbers.

If you choose to file separately from your spouse this year, you would typically divide the amount reported on 1099-G or refunded on your state taxes between you and your spouse.

If you did not itemize your deductions for the prior year, the refund is not taxable to you.
