You can follow the instructions that dgonzalez8 provided to check your 1099-G state refund amount. In addition to checking what was entered for the 1099-G, you want to verify if you itemized or claimed the standard deduction for the prior year. If you itemize, your tax refund may be taxable. However, if you claimed the standard deduction, it is not taxable and, therefore, not listed on your Federal return. Suppose you attempted to put your refund amount in when you claimed the standard deduction. In that case, it will give you an error: "State refund received by the taxpayer while a Virginia resident should not be greater than the total amount reported on the federal return." Since you claimed the standard deduction, the refund was not taxable and, therefore, not listed on the Federal Return.
