Georgia 2025 Tax Surplus Refund

[AndrewA87]

Do I need to report on my federal return the 2025 Georgia surplus tax refund I received? 

I took the standard deduction in 2024.

No, even if you received a 1099-G, this amount is not taxable to you since you took the standard deduction in the year it relates to.  You should still keep the form with your tax records.

Thanks.  So nothing to enter on my federal tax return?

Yes, you are correct.  You should not enter this on your federal return.
