Should I include interest from a state tax refund and if so where does it go in turbo tax.

I received a form OMB No 1545-0112 from Pennsylvania for interest as a result of a tax refund. It shows a dollar amount in box 1. This is not a 1099. Where and how do I include that amount in turbo tax?

You will report the income in the Interest and Dividends section of your return. Whether or not you received an actual Form 1099-INT or just a statement showing the amount you received, use the following steps to go to the section of your return to enter your interest income as if it were reported in box 1:

On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you can type in “interest income” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will give you an option to “Jump to interest income”
Click on the blue “Jump to interest income” link and enter your information

OMB would seem to indicate it's an IRS refund - interest for being tardy in issuing your refund. just that it came from PA office region rather than TX region
