If you overpaid your state taxes last year and received a 1099-G, please follow these steps in TurboTax to enter this information:
- Open your return.
- Search for government payments with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
- Select the Jump to government payments link in the search results.
- Click Yes for the question Did you have any of these types of income?
- Put a checkmark next to State or local income tax refunds.
- Click Yes for the question Did you get a state or local tax refund in 2020?
- Enter the information about your refund.
The state refund received in 2020 will only be taxable on your federal tax return if you took a federal deduction for paying those taxes in a prior year and that deduction reduced your federal taxes.
