Question

Taxable state refund if $10000 property tax deduction taken?

I  had $14,000 in real property tax deductions and $15,000 in state income tax deductions on my 2018 1040 and received a state refund of $5,300.  Since I was capped at $10,000 for both deductions and the real estate tax deduction, by itself, covered this, do I have to pay taxes on my state refund even though it wasn't used as a deduction on my Schedule A (although I did enter it)?

    If you took itemized deduction last year, then enter the amount of state tax refund.

    Turbotax will calculate how much, if any, of that refund is taxable.
