I am in the process of filing my taxes for 2020 and noticed the amount TT entered for my state/local tax refund received for 2019 is incorrect. They said I received $553 dollars when I actually had to pay state taxes of $170. I’m not sure on what to do about this, any help?

Did you receive a 1099-G from whatever state you live for a state tax refund from 2019? This is what this $553 is referring to.

Thanks for the reply. No I didn’t because I actually owed state taxes for 2019

You can remove the refund amount if you didn't have a refund and did not receive a 1099-G form.

You can delete this information in the federal interview section.
