I am a military spouse and was taxed erroneously for about four years. I paid taxes on all of the income for fed and state for each of the years.
I had to go back and file amendments for the prior years to request a refund. I finally received the refund for all four years with interest.
Do I have to file those refunds as income when I already paid taxes on them, and this was the VA state error? I live in TX, which doesn't have state taxes, and I had TX as my home state in prior years. My employer at the time said they couldn't change the deductions, and I went through a lot of paperwork to finally get it settled.
Please advise so I do it correctly this year since I received the refunds in 2023 for years 2019 - 2023. Thank you.
