 (kicker) credit on their 2017 return will receive a Form 1099-G for the kicker amount, even if they owed tax. Even though you did not receive a refund, the kicker was credited to the amount of tax that you owed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 we have received reports of software products that calculate a different amount than what is on the 1099-G you received. You may need to override your software to enter the correct amount from the 1099-G form.

 For example, Gary received a 2017 refund of $300 and had a kicker credit of $500 on his 2017 return. Gary will receive a 1099-G for showing a 2017 refund of $500, the amount of his kicker credit and the amount of tax benefit he received. This situation also
 occurs if a refund is partially or wholly offset to Interest on Underpayment of Estimated tax (UND), other debt, charitable checkoff (including any kicker donated to the state school fund) or applied as an estimated tax payment to the next tax year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#2E75B5">A5</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#2E75B5">. You will receive a 1099-G form showing
 both the kicker credit and additional refund not attributable to the kicker. For example, Don received a 2017 refund of $600 including his kicker credit of $500. Don will receive a 1099-G form showing a 2017 refund of $600 ($500 for the kicker credit plus
 $100 additional refund).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
