@vijay-saikrishna  TurboTax is asking the questions  ( like whether you used  standard deduction or  itemized deduction ) to compute  if  and how much of the State refund  should be taxed.  This has been around for  ages.  If you used  standard deduction then none of the refund is taxable for federal purposes.  If you used itemized deduction then it uses  "sales tax " for your AGI   or the actual  SALT you sued  to see how much of the refund should be taxable.  e.g. if you used  State tax of 8000 for your federal return in 2023 and now got back  1000 as State refund then  TurboTax will compute both ways  ( SALT and Sales Tax choices )  for  taxation of the refund.  That is the theory behind this ---    Is there more I can do for you ?

No, Taxpayers cannot deduct the cost of supplemental insurance policies, such as those provided by AFLAC, on their tax returns. According to the IRS, the cost of an insurance policy that pays a specified amount to insured parties who are sick or hurt is not a deductible medical expense.

TurboTax error 2755 typically indicates an issue with the Windows Installer service, often related to insufficient permissions or a corrupted installation. Here's a breakdown of potential causes and solutions:    Possible Causes: Permissions Issues: The installer may not have the necessary permissions to access files or directories during the installation process. Here's How to Switch Out of 'S' Mode for Windows 11.   User Account Control (UAC): UAC enabled by default can restrict even administrator users during installation.    Temp Directory Issues: The installation might not have access to the Temp directory, or the Temp directory might be full or corrupted.    Troubleshooting Steps: Run as Administrator: Right-click the TurboTax installer and select "Run as administrator".  Check Windows Installer Service: Open the Services console (type services.msc in the Run dialog).  Locate the "Windows Installer" service.  Ensure the "Startup type" is set to "Manual" or "Automatic" (if it's disabled, change it).  Disable UAC Temporarily: Temporarily disable UAC during the installation process (with caution, as it can compromise security).  Check Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date.  Check Disk Space: Ensure there's enough free space on the drive where you're installing TurboTax.  Repair Windows Installer: You can try repairing the Windows Installer service using the Windows Installer Cleanup tool.  Try a Different Installation Method: If you're using a downloaded version, try uninstalling and reinstalling from your MyDownloads folder.  @mhartley         

It is entered in the same place as unemployment, so that is fine.   But you do not need to mark taxable grant.   If there was tax withheld on your 1099-G, you should enter that amount when prompted.   If you entered it in the wrong place, delete the entry and re-enter it in the correct spot.     It depends on what box number the income is in.   If the income is in:   Box 1 - 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave Box 2 - 1099-G for a state or local refund -  do not use this or the taxable grant entry.     Use the link that corresponds with the type of 1099-G you received.   The screen should look like the one below:
