State tax filing
Assuming you claimed a credit for the tax paid to PR on your original return then, yes, you will need to amend your return to net the refund and the foreign tax paid. You will do that in the "Deductions & Credits" tab with the steps below.
If you did not go through the "Foreign Tax Credit" topic originally and thus did not claim the foreign tax credit, then you do not need to amend your return. You can check line 20 on your original form 1040. If there is an amount there, go to Schedule 3 to see if there is an amount on line 1, which comes from a form 1116. If there is no Foreign Tax Credit and no form 1116, then you did not claim that credit.
If you need to amend your return select the amend option when signing in to your account. Then follow the prompts to complete the amendment forms.
- Scroll down to "Estimates and other taxes paid"
- "Show More"
- "Revisit" the "Foreign Tax Credit" topic
- Click through to find the page "Country Summary" and "Edit" the PR line for "General Income"
- Verify the income and deductions entered as you click through
- Ultimately you will arrive at a page where you entered the tax paid to PR
- You will need to subtract the refund from that amount
