The Ohio Dept. of Tax language is strange and confusing. I suppose they mean it's not a notice that a refund is on its way to you, but it IS a report of the refund you would have received in the prior year. Perhaps they are shying away from "refund" since the amount overpaid could have gone to repay other taxes, child support, other state debts, or been applied (by choice) to future taxes and never actually refunded? Not sure why they feel the need to make that particular statement.
In TurboTax, it goes in the section for "state tax refunds received", because that is what it represents, even if a cash refund was actually never given to the taxpayer.
