Why does my OR State Refund not match the amount found on form 1099-G?

You mean from last year's taxes?

The State refund 1099-G is commonly higher than some people think it should be.....based on what they actually put in the bank.

take what $$ you pocketed...and add to it.

1) any state Use Tax assessed last year.

2)  any state check-off donations you made & had taken from your refund.

3)  any $$ amounts you let the state keep to apply to this year's 2020 state taxes.

That total is more likely the total on the 1099-G  (unless I think of something else that has to be added back).

....I'm not sure how the OR-Kicker is dealt with...but normally you just use the state refund 1099-G directly.
