Amending state for 2020

I found a data error on 2020 state return (only state) which will result in a refund. I haven’t yet filed for 2021. So should I assume my amended return refund will process and go ahead and enter that I received a refund on state when filing 2021 federal taxes? (Prior to amending, TT said I owed $ and paid accordingly)

No, because you did not actually receive a state refund in the year 2021, you paid state taxes during 2021.  

 

When your amended return is processed, you will receive a refund in 2022 even though it will be for the tax year 2020.
