Multiple Year State Tax Refunds Received in the Same Year

How do I report multiple previous year Maryland Tax Refunds in the same 2019 year if I have itemized for all years? Also, because it appears I only included only one of the state refunds when I originally submitted my 2019 returned and it's been processed by the IRS and MD, it seems I need to amend it.

If you filed multiple years of state returns in one year, then received all of the refunds in 2019, then all of the refunds would be added together for your state refund. Go back into the program and change the amount of the one year to the total of all that were received in that tax year.

Hi Amy.  I have a follow-up question on this topic.  I filed amended state returns for prior years (2018-2020) in early 2022 and received refunds later that year.  All three years we took the standard deduction which would have made the state tax refund non-taxable.  Yet when I enter them individually (to correctly identify the tax years) they increase my tax liability.  Is this correct?  If not, is this a Turbotax error?  What is my path forward?  Thanks!

If you took the Standard Deduction for those years you do not need to enter them at all.
