If you received a state or local income tax refund (or credit or offset) in 2025, you must generally include it in income if you deducted the tax in an earlier year. The payer should generally send Form 1099-G to you by January 31 (if it's not a weekend or holiday). The IRS will also receive a copy of the Form 1099-G. If you file Form 1040 or 1040-SR, use the State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet under Instructions for Schedule 1 in the Instructions for Form 1040 to figure the amount (if any) to include in your income. See Pub. 525 for when you must use another worksheet. If you could choose to deduct for a tax year either: State and local income taxes, or State and local general sales taxes, then the maximum refund that you may have to include in income is limited to the excess of the tax you chose to deduct for that year over the tax you didn’t choose to deduct for that year. For examples, see Pub. 525. Mortgage interest refund. If you received a refund or credit in 2025 of mortgage interest paid in an earlier year, the amount should be shown in box 4 of Form 1098, Mortgage Interest Statement. Don’t subtract the refund amount from the interest you paid in 2025. You may have to include it in your income under the rules explained in the following discussions. Interest on recovery. Interest on any of the amounts you recover must be reported as interest income in the year received. For example, report any interest you received on state or local income tax refunds on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 2b. Recovery and expense in same year. If the refund or other recovery and the expense occur in the same year, the recovery reduces the deduction or credit and isn’t reported as income. Recovery for 2 or more years. If you receive a refund or other recovery that’s for amounts you paid in 2 or more separate years, you must allocate, on a pro rata basis, the recovered amount between the years in which you paid it. This allocation is necessary to determine the amount of recovery from any earlier years and to determine the amount, if any, of your allowable deduction for this item for the current year. For information on how to figure the allocation, see Recoveries in Pub. 525. Itemized Deduction Recoveries If you recover any amount that you deducted in an earlier year on Schedule A (Form 1040), you must generally include the full amount of the recovery in your income in the year you receive it. Where to report. Enter your state or local income tax refund on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 1, and the total of all other recoveries as other income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z. Standard deduction limit. You are generally allowed to claim the standard deduction if you don’t itemize your deductions. Only your itemized deductions that are more than your standard deduction are subject to the recovery rule (unless you’re required to itemize your deductions). If your total deductions on the earlier year return weren’t more than your income for that year, include in your income this year the lesser of: Your recoveries, or The amount by which your itemized deductions exceeded the standard deduction. Example. For 2024, you filed a joint return. Your taxable income was $60,000 and you weren’t entitled to any tax credits. Your standard deduction was $29,200, and you had itemized deductions of $30,700. In 2025, you received the following recoveries for amounts deducted on your 2024 return. Medical expenses $200 State and local income tax refund 400 Refund of mortgage interest 325 Total recoveries $925 None of the recoveries were more than the deductions taken for 2024. The difference between the state and local income tax you deducted and your local general sales tax was more than $400. Your total recoveries are less than the amount by which your itemized deductions exceeded the standard deduction ($30,700 − $29,200 = $1,500), so you must include your total recoveries in your income for 2025. Report the state and local income tax refund of $400 on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 1, and the balance of your recoveries, $525, on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z. Standard deduction for earlier years. To determine if amounts recovered in the current year must be included in your income, you mu
