I received a 1099-G from City of Philadelphia for 2020 city wage taxes paid. I am trying to enter it in turbotax but the categories in the drop down don't include a wage tax refund. What category should I choose? FYI I think I used the money paid to Philadelphia to offset my NJ state taxes as allowed

Choose Other Pennsylvania Local Tax.

Tap in the upper left corner to open the menu.
Select Federal, and then Wages & Income.
Select Other Common Income (you might have to first select Add more income), then select Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns.
Say Yes to Did You Get a State or Local Tax Refund in 2021?
On Tell us about your refund, select Other Pennsylvania Local Tax in State or Locality
Enter the refund amount
Total of all your payments and withholding would include all the wage tax withheld on your 2020 W-2.
