IRS Payment from Amended 2020 Return

For 2020, I used TurboTax Deluxe. I filed a return and then filed an amended return saying that I overpaid. In 2022, I finally got a refund check from the IRS from the amended return.
For 2021, I used TurboTax D. For 2022, I'm also using TurboTax D.

Do I need to enter the refund amount into my 2022 income? If so, how/where do I enter it using TurboTax Deluxe? Or did TurboTax keep track of that amount when it created my 2021 and 2022 filing from the 2020 records?

Thank you.

There is no place to enter your federal refund from last year or from an amended return on your current tax return.

Hi there,

No, you don't need to report the additional federal refund you received in your 2022 return. It's not considered income by the IRS so wouldn't affect your (federal) taxes.
