After you file

You don't have to claim your federal refund; it's never entered on your tax return. But you do report your state refund if you itemized your deductions.

The state refund is reported on form 1099-G and here is data entry:

  1. Federal Taxes 
  2. Wages & Income
  3. Scroll down to Other Common Income    
  4. Select State and Local Tax Refunds on Form 1099-G
