I started my Turbo Tax return, my spouse and I decided that we should file jointly. She is breadwinner, so the Joint return is based off her income, our Fed Return has already come, but our State Return was accepted in April, but still not issued. I just completed my State Return in my personal account and Turbo tax is offering to file my State and Federal again and offering me a total refund of 15k+, which is obviously more I THINK than our combined state return would be? Just want to try to avoid somehow filing for taxes fraudulently.
You cannot file again, either federal or state. You already filed both. Check the status of your state refund by going to the following link and then clicking on the name of your state.
How do I track my state refund?
It is not possible for you to e-file again. Any attempt to file federal or state tax returns using the same SSN will be rejected. If you filed a joint return with your spouse using her account, you have no need to use your own TT account for anything. The joint federal and state returns you already filed took care of it. If you are still waiting for your state refund:
Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities, There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals. Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.

Thank you, we have been checking through our state's tracker, but only received. However, I did reach out to the state office of taxes via their contact email and gave them my concerns and asked for response and next steps. Thank you again.
