State tax filing
On the Wages&Income page, there is an income selection for State & Local Tax Refunds...you should be able to change it in there.
______
But, be a bit careful....it's likely it should only be changed if the state actually changed your refund from what you filed.
The $$ TTX presents may be validly higher than what you put in your pocket.
For instance...it might be higher (and should be left as-is)
....1) You might have made checkoff donations to some state charities when you filed that lowered your state refund. The Higher $ amount for the refund is valid....but you do get to use those same $$ as charity donations.
...2) Maybe you had a lot of Use/sales taxes due as a part of yoru tx filing. Those $$ are not considered, and add back to the $$ in yoru pocket.
....3) Or maybe you applied $500 of your state refund to 2022 state taxes. Those $500 would be added back....but would then be entered as state taxes paid later for a potential federal income deduction for state taxes paid.
