Yes, the State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet lists out state and local refunds received from the prior year, as well as displays information and calculations used to determine how much of the refund is taxable for your 2017 taxes.  

If you filed your federal and state taxes (MN) with TurboTax last year and transferred the file when you started your 2017 tax return, then TurboTax would automatically populate the state refund amounts received for you.   

Also, a state refund amount can be manually entered in the Wages & Income Section of TurboTax Deluxe Online.  To find this section, open your tax return file in TurboTax, click on the Federal Tab on the left side of your screen, then click on the Wages & Income tab at the top of the screen.  Now scroll down to the Other Common Income section.  Click "to show more" and select the "Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns."  This will bring you to the interview screens related to state and local refunds received in 2017 for prior year returns.
