I'm on the part where it says state and local tax refund.the amount that we got back last year.is it state and federal or just state that I put in?

I'm not sure if the amount in the box is correct and need to know if I just put the state or the state and federal amount in box?

You do not enter anything about your 2020 federal refund.   IF you itemized deductions for 2020 instead of using your standard deduction, then enter the state refund you received and any city or local tax refund.

Enter only the state refund that you received last year.

will that include the state withholding from w2 or do I need to add that in? I'm so confused lol.I just want to make sure its correct cause I believe its not because they sent me a letter last year for my state income tax that the amount I was suppose to get back was way over and they fixed it so I got way less back.if you understand what I'm saying.

If you used standard deduction for 2020 you do not even have to enter anything for this.   You would only have to enter it if you itemized.
