Filing 2019 WI State Income Tax late and how it impacts 2020 Federal Income Tax

Hi there~

 

I'm filing our 2019 taxes now along with our 2020 taxes. Since I didn't technically receive our 2019 State Refund in 2020, should I not include that as income on the 2020 form? I will receive the refund in 2021. So where the system generates from my 2019 return, $,$$$ State Refund amount, I should change that and enter $0 correct? I Our State of WI 2019 refund would then  be claimed on my 2021 federal taxes along with our 2020 WI State income tax refund, correct?  Nothing like adding extra confusion to an already confusing return, right?

 

Thanks so much for your assistance!!
