You don't need to enter a federal refund in your tax return.  It is not income since federal taxes paid were never a deduction on a prior year return.  

 

That is unlike a state refund.  State taxes, if you itemize, are a deduction on your prior year return so if you get a refund of those taxes, it is income.
