No, your Federal income tax refund is not considered to be income that is reported on your tax return.
Q. Can I use my 2022 income tax refund as an income to file my 2023 taxes?
A. Simple answer: No.
There is a rare circumstance where it is income (you must have used itemized deductions on your 2022 federal return). But, even then, it is unearned income and will not qualify you for any refundable credits (earned income credit or additional child tax credit).
