Why would I have an amount reported in the ‘other income’ section if I did not receive or report any income that qualified as ‘other income’?

Do you have unused housing allowance on your W-2?

No I do not.

Is it on the summary screen or on your tax return.   Your state refund from last year will show up on the summary screen, but it doesn't mean that it is taxable and reported on your tax return.  

Look at Schedule 1 and see what line the income is on and whether or not there is a description.   Preview Form 1040 in TurboTax Online.   If you don't have schedule 1 in your return, you don't have any ''Other Income'' items reported as taxable.  

Use Forms Mode if you are using the desktop software.
