If you did not itemize deductions on your 2017 federal tax return, you do not need to enter the 1099-G at all. State and local (RITA) income tax refunds are only taxable if you took a deduction for taxes paid, the previous year.
That said,
In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in Home & Business)
-
Wages & Income
-
“I’ll choose what I work on” Button
Scroll down to:
- Wages and Salaries
- 1099-Misc and Other Common Income
-State & Local tax refunds on a 1099-G. Click the UPDATE button.
On the next screen click "Add another state or local tax refund"
On the next screen click YES
On the next screen, on the state or locality scroll down list (scroll way down) select RITA city tax, OH
The rest of the mumbo jumbo is to determine how much of that refund is taxable. For most people it's ALL (if they itemized) or NONE (if they didn't itemize)
