How to handle form 1099-G information.

[djonesnocar]

In 2018 my state's DOR took out my state tax payment twice. They sent a "refund" check minus fees and reported the full amount on form 1099-G. The 2018 tax form asks how much was paid when filing the 2017 return. Do I report the total amount that was taken out (i.e. 2x the state tax payment) or just the amount of the tax payment itself?

Just report the amount of the actual tax payment, not the double-reported amount.
