If you and your husband did not itemize your deductions in 2015, but instead took the Standard Deduction, you do not have to report the 1099-G's because they would not be taxable. However, if you and/or your husband itemized, you would report both/one 1099-G'(s) in the joint tax return as follows:
• Open up your Turbotax program and select the Federal Taxes tab at the top left of your screen
• Select Wages & Income and I’ll choose what I work on
• On your 2016 Income Summary Page, scroll down to the 1099-MISC and Other Common Income section, and select the Start or Update button to the right of the line that reads State and Local Tax Refunds on Form 1099-G
• On the next page, State and Local Tax Refund Summary, enter the first 1099-G and you’ll see a blue box towards the bottom that reads Add Another State or Local Tax Refund. Enter the second 1099-G here.
