I received a 1009-G from the CA Franchise Tax Board stating the amount I received for my CA state tax refund last year.
This is the first 1099-G I've ever received. Do I need to claim this amount as income on my 2010 1040 or 2010 CA form 540?
THANKS!!!

Yes. It's taxable income on the Federal 1040. I don't know what it is in CA.

Thanks coaster.
I did a bit of research last night and it looks like state tax refunds are taxable if state income taxes paid were deducted on the previous year's 1040 schedule A (which mine were).
The way I understand it, I must now record this 1099-G amount on line 10 of my 2010 1040.
Thanks again.

Yes, thanks for pointing out that qualifier. I do it every year automatically, so I guess I forgot that part.
