Question

state income tax refunds

I received a 2021 Income Tax Refund on a Form 1099G.  When filling out the Schedule 1 form the turbotax program entered it twice -- on line 1 as a "Taxable refund", and then again on line 8z "Other income" noting it as "Taxable Grant from Form 1099-G".  Thus, the total for the Schedule 1 form was the refund amount TWICE!!!  And this doubled amount was then listed on line 8 of the Form 1040, and this, of course, added this doubled amount to my Total Payment line.  How do I fix this?

    What do you mean, "When filling out the Schedule 1 form"? Were you in Forms mode making direct entries into Schedule 1 (1040)? Please do not do this, but work instead in Step-by-Step mode.

     

    First, please delete anything that you entered through Forms mode, then go back and enter the 1099-G by going to Wages & Income->1099-MISC and Other Common Income->State and Local Tax Refunds on Form 1099-G

     

    Then if it duplicates, come back and tell us.
