It depends. You would have to report it as income if you itemized deductions on your 2017 return, as then the taxes refunded to you would have been included as a deduction on your 2017 return.
If you do need to report your refund, see the steps below to be brought to the state refund entry section of TurboTax:
- With your return open in TurboTax, search for 1099–G (don't forget the dash!) and then select the "jump to" link at the top of your search results.
- This will take you to Did you have any of these types of income? Answer Yes.
- On the following screen, check the first box State or local income tax refunds and continue.
- Answer Yes to Did you get a state or local tax refund?
