I received a 1099-G for calendar year 2025, but I can't enter it for my 2025 taxes because it says I need to enter a tax year before 2025 for "tax return year". Advise.

If you received a Form 1099-G for a refund you received in 2025 for your 2024 tax return, when you enter the form you enter 2024 as the tax year. It was an over-payment of 2024 state tax.
