For tax year 2020, I had a state refund.  Typically, I'd receive it from the State in 2021.  However, this time, I received it in 2022.  Regarding accounting for it as Federal income, does it go on... my 2021 return... or my 2022 return... which one?  Please advise.  Thanks.

Since the state tax refund was received in 2022 you report it on the 2022 tax return.
