In Ohio. In 2023, I used the standard deduction and owed money. In 2024, I used the standard deduction and received a refund.

For 2025, can I remove the 1099-G from my return since by having the 1099-G it forces me to move from the free version to a paid version. However, it also reduces my refund by $69

If you did not itemize your 2024 federal tax deductions then there is no need to report the 2024 state tax refund on the Form 1099-G for tax year 2025.

To enter, edit or delete a state or local tax refund (Form 1099-G) -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Other Common Income
On Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns, click the start or update button

Thank you.

If the Ohio tax is not taxable, why would it then impact my refund by $69. When I had the 1099-G in, the refund was higher, but then I had to use the paid version.

This time I cleared the taxes (started over) and then manually deleted all 1098-E and the 1099-G data. I then manually entered the 1098-E and the 1099-G data back in.

This time when got to the order steps, I am still using the free version.

Not sure what happened before.
