State refund due to amended return

Mar 09, 2009 2 Replies

I am filing an amended 2006 state return that will result in an additional refund that I should receive in 2009. I itemized on my federal return in



2006 so I would have had to declare the state refund on my 2007 federal return. I did not itemize in 2008. Usually I would not have to declare a state tax refund for tax year 2008 on my 2009 return since I did not itemize for tax year 2008. Will I have to declare the 2006 state refund on my 2009 federal taxes?

Yes, to the extent that amount of state income tax provided you with a tax benefit for tax year 2006.

And if your state is generous enough to pay interest on that refund, that is federal taxable interest income.

Interest on a state tax refund is also taxable by the state (for states that tax interest).
