This is confusing but possibly moot. My daughter received a state refund for tax year 2019 for $302. The amount was received in March 2020. Now, while doing her 2020 taxes, following the "state refund" field is the "payments and withholdings" field, which defaults to that same amount, $302. However, according to the completed tax form, it reports her state refund as $604. Yes, it doubled the amount of the check actually received. In the end, I don't think the refund is even being counted as income but it still makes no sense to me that it keeps showing the refund as $604, when the amount of the refund was only $302, which was confirmed by the deposit in her bank account $302. Why is the program doubling the actual amount received?? Thanks for your thoughts!
