Do I need to report 1099G tax refund from previous year?

[renee-maloof]

I live in Massachusetts but worked in Rhode Island in 2016(did not work in Rhode Island in 2017). I received a 1099G with how much tax refund I received for 2016 tax year. Do I need to do anything with this information?

Yes. You should enter the amount(s) in TurboTax because the IRS may access the information via the state/locality and they may contact you for more information if the amount(s) should have been reported on your federal tax return but were not reported. TurboTax will help determine if it is taxable. Please review the following TurboTax link(s) and the link(s) embedded on the webpage(s) for more information: 

• Do I need to report the state or local refund I got last year? Is it taxable?
• Is My State Tax Refund Taxable and Why?
• Where do I enter a 1099-G for a state or local tax refund?
• How do I report last year's state/local refund without a 1099-G?
