Dont see a box 10 anything on my 1099-g. only boxes 1 through 4. State refund went down when i just left it blank and continued.

Box 10 shows the amount of state withholding for the 1099-G.

If you had state income tax withheld for the 1099-G, you could enter that into the program. The refund would go down when you enter the income if there was no withholding.

Okay perhaps I was not clear. Ther is only boxes 1 through 4 on mine. In both table a and table b. Boxes 5 and up aren't just blank. They don't exist. At all. California edd if it makes a difference.

Yes, you are correct that the 1099-G for CA does not have box 10.  Box 10 is for state withholding.  Since this is a 1099-G for state refund, you do not need to be concerned with Box 10.   The state refund would be reported in Box 2.  

Typically, state refund is not reported as income on your 2021 return unless you itemized in 2020.   If you took the standard deduction in 2020, then you do not have to report the 1099-G for a state refund. 

If you did itemize in 2020, you need to enter the 1099-G as income in the Wage and Income section of TurboTax.   

Just leave all the boxes blank in TurboTax except for the boxes that are amounts entered on the 1099-G.

Thank you I figured as much and left it blank. The preview of the state refund was slashed by a pretty significant amount.
