    The kicker refund would only be taxable IF you itemized deductions on your 2023 federal return and you received a tax benefit from it.  If you took the standard deduction, it is NOT taxable and you do not need to enter it.  

     

    The kicker is the equivalent of a state tax refund.  It is taxable in the next year only if you itemized deductions in the previous year.  The rationale is that you got a tax benefit in the previous year for 100% of your state tax, so if you get a refund, you have to declare it as income the following year.
