The Federal and State refunds come separately.
Are you saying your Federal refund was $2,000 less than expected?
If the IRS decreased your Federal refund, you should get a postal
letter from them in about 3 weeks or so explaining why your Federal refund
is less than what you filed. The letter should also tell you steps you
can take if you disagree with their decision, including a contact number
for you to phone them if desired. The following help article will tell
you a bit more about possible causes, how to check for any offsets,
etc.

The IRS has said:
"Examples
that could decrease your refund include math errors, mistakes,
delinquent federal taxes, state taxes, child support, student loans or
other delinquent federal nontax obligations, and when the IRS withholds a
portion of your refund, if further review is needed."
If you
want to talk to the IRS before you receive the letter to see if you can
learn anything, here's how: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time
