I received a Foreign tax refund during 2021. This is actually a tax overpayment during previous years. Is this considered as income in the US and needs to be shown in my 2021 tax return?

Is foreign tax refund taxable in the US?
A foreign income tax refund would not be taxable on your US tax return. If you used the foreign tax to qualify for a foreign tax credit in a prior year, however, you may need to amend the return where you claimed the credit to reflect the refund.
