State tax filing

No, it only becomes taxable income if you itemized your deductions in the prior year and received a tax benefit for state taxes paid.  Since the amounts were paid during 2015, then they would be included in Schedule A as a deduction (unless you claim state sales tax paid).  Therefore, when you receive a refund, you must recover this deduction as income in the year received.
