1099G for a state refund has it's own place. So back out of this one.
Enter the 1099G under
Federal on the left side or top
Wages & Income
Scroll down to Other Common Income
You might need click on Show More to expand the section
Then it's the first line for Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns - Click Start or Revisit
You do not want the next line that says Other 1099G Income
On the first screen check YES - Received a State Refund.
Enter the amount and continue on and after a couple screens, it will ask you a couple questions to determine if it's taxable. It may or may not be taxable. It is taxable if you itemized deductions the year it is from. If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable and you don't even need to enter it.
