1099-G Tax Document

[jschaffer1110]

Do I have to enter a 1099-G "State or local income tax refunds, credits, or offsets" as income for my 2016 Federal Tax Return?

[Texas Roger · Accepted solution]

You must enter it if you itemized deductions on your 2015 federal tax return and deducted state income taxes. Otherwise, you don't need to enter it.

I'm fairly certain that I filed with the Standard deduction for my 2015 federal tax return. If I did standard deduction, it follows that I did NOT itemize deductions, correct?

[Texas Roger]

Correct.
