To enter your correct state tax refund, follow the steps below:
- Login and click Take me to my return
- Next, select the Federal Taxes tab and then click the Wages & Income tab below it (If you have a blue button that says, 'Check for more income,' click it and then click 'Skip to see all income')
- Scroll down to the Other common income section and click the blue hyperlink Show more
- Click Start/Update next to Refunds from State or Local Returns
- Here you'll be able to enter your state tax refund.
However, you only need to enter these if you took the Itemized Deductions on your tax return, from the related year (2015). You can update the section and the software will walk you through this. If you usually use the Free Edition of TurboTax, that's an easy way to know you did not itemize.
