I have two 1099-G forms for TY 2018. One is for my 2017 state tax refund payment and the second is for my 2016 state tax refund payment. The 2016 1040 had an extension and was filed late enough that both 2016 and 2017 state tax refunds were paid in early 2018, which is why I now have two 1099-G forms for TY2018.
The problem is I already included the 2016 1099-G amount in the 2017 1040, but because it was filed so late it is reported as a TY2018 1099-G.
Any advice how to handle the 1099-Gs for the 2018 1040? My concerns is the IRS expecting to see both reported.

I have another option for you.
You'll have to amend 2017, taking your tax refund out. If it was taxable in 2017, you'll get a refund for your 2017 taxes. Then report both in 2018, the year that you received both.
Before you do that, though, make sure that you itemized in both 2016 and 2017. If you did, you'll need to amend. If you didn't, that means that you didn't get the benefit of deducting your state taxes paid on your Schedule A. If that' the case, then you don't need to claim the refunds on your return at all.
