I'm living in Arizona and all that this [removed] is giving me is from other states, or telling me that it's because of a law suit please some one out that might have an answer for me on this problem

It depends.  If you have a state refund in 2023, and you used itemized deductions on your 2022 tax return then you include any refund you received as income. The following will show you how to enter this in your tax return.  You do not need a 1099-MISC form for your entry.

1. Open your TurboTax return > Select Wages & Income > Scroll to Other Common Income > Select Refunds Received for State/Local Returns
2. Continue to answer the questions to enter your refund (see the image below)
