Did I receive a refund in 2025 from a 2023 or earlier tax return?

Normally, you'll file a tax return in the first few months following the end of the tax year. For example, last year in 2025, most people filed their 2024 tax year return during January-April of 2025, and they received any state refund from that 2024 tax year return during 2025.

If the only state refund you received during 2025 is from your 2024 return, answer No here. This question is asking about refunds from even earlier years.

Here are some examples of when you might answer Yes here:

• You filed your 2023 tax return late and didn't file or receive your refund until 2025.
• You amended your 2022 tax return during 2025 and received a refund from that return during 2025.

You should only answer Yes to this question if the refund you received in 2025 is from a 2023 or earlier (such as 2022) tax return.
