I need to enter my state refund I received from VA and I checked my form and it is $7. I've entered that number and it's not being accepted

If you know last year's refund amount, you don't need a 1099-G. Follow these steps to enter last year’s refund amount:

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described

1. Sign in to TurboTax and open the Wages & Income section of your return.
2. On the Your income screen, select Add more income.
3. Open the Other Common Income section.
4. Select Start in the Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns section.
5. Enter your refund amount.

Report last year’s state or local tax refund, and we’ll figure out if it’s taxable or not.  If all three of the following are true, your refund counts as taxable income:

• You itemized deductions last year, instead of taking the standard deduction.
• You claimed state and local income taxes (not general sales taxes).
• Claiming the deduction helped you increase your federal refund or lower your tax bill.

Even when your refund is taxable, it may not be the entire amount. It depends on how much the deduction affected your refund or tax bill. Just answer a few simple questions about last year’s refund, and we’ll calculate the taxable amount for you.
