Sure. Take a look at what was filed for the years you got the VA refunds for after amending. Did you file a Schedule A with itemized deductions? If no, then none of the refunds are taxable income. When you enter the form 1099G showing the state/local refund amounts received (not including interest) in 2023, you will be asked if you itemized in those prior years. If you answer "No" then TurboTax will let you know none of your refunds are taxable in 2023.
If you answer "Yes" then you will need to use your copy of the amended returns to answer a few questions about those prior year returns. Once you answer those questions, TurboTax will let you know how much, if any, of those refunds are taxable in 2023. Basically, the questions are designed to determine if your federal taxes would have been different in those years had you not claimed a deduction for those refund amounts.
Finally, you mention you received interest on the refunds. That interest amount is taxable income and is entered as a form 1099-INT in the "Wages & Income" section using the "Investment" dropdown where you will "Start/Revisit" the 1099-Int topic.
