Box 2

Box 2 is a state tax refund.   To enter a state refund just type  1099-G (with the dash)  in the search box at the top of your return and click on Jump To it.

 

OR  Enter the 1099G under

 Federal on left

Wages & Income at top

 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.

 

Enter the amount and continue on and after a couple screens, it will ask you a couple questions to determine if it's taxable.  It may or may not be taxable.  It is taxable if you itemized deductions the year it is from.  If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable. If you filed form 1040A or 1040EZ you took the standard deduction and don't have a schedule A, so the refund is not taxable.

 

INTEREST

Then enter the interest like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1.  

Enter a 1099-Int  under

Federal or Personal for Home & Business

Wages & Income at top

Interest and Dividends

Interest on 1099INT - Click the Start or Revisit button

 

Put the interest amount in box 1
