I recieved indiana unemployment and lived in Kentucky, do I need to fill out a indiana refund?

It depends.   Indiana and Kentucky are known as reciprocal states, which means that if you live in Kentucky, but work in Indiana, you are only taxed to Kentucky and do not pay taxes to Indiana.  There are times, however, that if the correct form (WH-47) is not filled out in Indiana, then taxes are withheld to Indiana.  See this FAQ for more information:   https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4776822 .

What is your situation?   Check your 1099-G from Indiana to see if they took out tax to Indiana.  If they did not (only withheld taxes to KY), then make sure in TurboTax that you answer no to the question “Did you work in another state outside of Kentucky?” You will not be required to file a state return for Indiana.

If Indiana did withhold taxes for Indiana, click yes on the question “Did you work in another state outside of Kentucky (even though it was unemployment and not technically “work”?”, and then enter Indiana.  You will want to fill out the Indiana return as a non-resident reciprocal state.  You would then get a refund from Indiana on the tax you paid, but you would have additional tax to pay to Kentucky.
