Do I count last years state/local refund since i am doing a standard deduction. Am confused. Received 1099 last year, none this

[racerlinn]

Last year I did our taxes as a standard instead of itemizing for the second year if a row...kids grew up.  The first year I received a 1099 to count for our state/local refund from the previous year, but I have received nothing this year.  When trying to read up about it, I keep seeing that if you do standard deduction you do not need to claim state/local.  It shows last years amount, but is not populated for 2017.  Do I need to worry about state 1099 if doing standard

If you used standard deduction last year, then you don't need to report state/local refund as taxable income on your taxes.
