Sometimes that happens. Sounds like you had enough federal tax withheld so that you get a federal refund, but you had too little state tax withheld and owe the state.
We cannot see your tax return. The most common reason for owing state tax is that you did not have enough state tax withheld from your paychecks during the year. Double check all of the amounts you entered from tax documents such as your W-2's---look carefully at boxes 16 and 17. Look for misplaced decimals and extra zeros. Print a copy of 2023 and 2024 state returns and compare them side by side, line by line to spot the difference(s).
If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.
You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
