When filling for year 2018, do I need to claim the refund I received from filing year 2017?

Best answer by DanaB27

No, you do not need to claim your federal refund from the 2017 tax return.

It depends if you need to report your state refund

  • If you used the Standard Deduction in your 2017 tax return then you do not need to report it. 
  • If you used the Itemized Deduction in your 2017 tax return then you need to report it.
