how to enter this for 1099g

I am entering the refund amount received for 1099G.  Under "total amount received for 2024"

 

How do I know what to enter for the second line "Total of all your payments and withholdings"?  I remember this usually automatically populates.  I didn't manually enter anything last year, it just populates.  But for this 2024, it is not populating and I have to manually enter a figure.  Tax year of refund is 2023.

On your 2023 federal return did you take the Standard Deduction or itemize?   If you took the Standard Deduction the 1099G state tax refund is not taxable and you don’t even need to enter it.

@VolvoGirl I itemized. Isn't this supposed to automatically populate?  I remember all the previous years I itemized, this field automatically populated for me.

Found the answer.  It’s under Schedule A and 5a.
