Will I get audited if I don't report my Virginia tax refund from last year as it is still "processing" a year later and thus I didn't receive a 1099-G or state refund?

The virginia  "Where's my refund?" tool still reports "processing" a year later and no refund was ever deposited into my bank account, and my virginia online account also shows that the refund is still "processing" and I never received a 1099-G.  I'm scarred because I don't want to get audited for failing to report the income I was supposed to receive but never actually did.  Oh the joys of being a peasant!

You are reporting what happened in 2021.   No refund, no tax entry--- that simple.   Get it this year, report on next return.

You need the information regarding your Virginia state refund/1099G only if you have itemized your deduction.

If you have taken a Standard deduction you do not have to worry about a Virginia state refund.

sorry LoganathanB, i don't really like this answer as much.  why does it matter if I itemized my deduction?  I never received a 1099-G, never received a refund, and virginia tax website says it's still "processing" for a whole year, so there is nothing to report if I'm not mistaken whether or not i am itemizing my deductions.  I emailed virginia tax people and they don't even respond to peasants like me.  one time i was late paying my virginia taxes maybe a month or two and virginia fined me thousands of dollars.  when they don't process my refund for a whole year, i only get head aches.  i hate being a peasant.
