Reply to comment by welshTerrier2 in Is the MA tax refund taxable income for 2022 or 2023? Or? by TeacherGuy1980

Small clarification: only to the extent that it allowed you to exceed the standard deduction.

Using your example, if your itemized deductions were $5 over the standard deduction, only $5 of the refund is taxable income. Also similar calculation against the SALT deduction limit.
