How do I enter a 1099-G in Turbo Tax? Turbo Tax keeps asking if it's from a farm or business but it's neither.

    Is the amount in box 2.  That is for a state refund you got in 2024 for your 2023 return.   It goes on your 2024 tax return.  But you might not need to enter it at all.

     

    You are in the wrong place.  Delete out of here and

    Enter the 1099G under

     Federal on left

    Wages & Income

     Scroll down to 1099-Misc and  Other Common Income

         You might need click on Show More to expand the section

     

    Then it's the first line for Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns - Click Start

         You do not want the next line that says Other 1099G Income

     

    On the first screen check YES - Received a State Refund.
