    No, you don't.

    According to Line 1 - Taxable Refunds, Credits, or Offsets of State and Local Income Taxes in the https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf,

    None of your refund is taxable if, in the year you paid the tax, you either (a) didn't itemize deductions, or (b) elected to deduct state and local general sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes.
