My husband and I got married in 2019. In 2018, we each filed "Single". He itemized his deductions, making his 2018 state refund taxable. I did not itemize, and had no taxable state refund. What do we do for this years 1099-G? The software's limitations won't let me enter two 1099-Gs. Is it taxable?

if you had no state refund there should be no 1099 G for you to enter. if you paid in 2019 that goes on schedule A with the tax deduction limited to $10,000.  the question becomes whether or not his state tax refund is taxable.   

 

 

see IRS pub 525 to see if his refund is taxable

read carefully especially the top of worksheet 2 in the pub.
