If you received a state refund, that refund should not be more that the amount of tax you claimed on the prior year return if you itemized deductions on the prior year Federal return.
If you used the Standard Deduction on your Federal return the prior year, the state refund is not even reported on your Federal return this year.
If you Itemized Deductions on your prior year Federal return, the amount of state income tax you claimed can't be more than the refund (how can you get a "refund" for more than you paid?"). If you Itemized and claimed state SALES tax (rather than state income tax), again, the refund is not reported.
