Why does "Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns" show a figure that is greater than what I inputted as the refund received in 2020?
I received $369 as a state tax refund in 2020, which is the amount I entered into Turbo Tax. However my income shows $738 as "Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns." There is no explanation as to how TurboTax came up with that number.

Since it's exactly double, it sounds like it carried over automatically from your 2019 return and then you typed it in again yourself.

Thank you. I was able to fix it by deleting the item which reset it. It didn't seem to pick up last year's refund amount automatically this time, so I retyped the information and now it is showing the correct amount.
