You can look at the Schedule A Itemized Deductions that is part of your 2023 return. Check line 5a. There is a box next to that line that will be checked with an 'x' if you used sales tax deduction instead of state and local sales tax.
If you used TurboTax for your 2023 return, the program should already know that information and it will be taken into account when you enter the state refund amount to determine if it is taxable. If you did not use TurboTax for 2023, there will be questions to answer when you enter your 2023 state refund amount so that it can be determined whether the refund is taxable on your 2024 return.
