Was State Tax refund in my federal refund?

[micahcocita]

I was just wondering when doing my federal taxes, if my state taxes were in there as well? Or do I do that separately? Also approximately when will I be receiving my return(if finished the correct way already)?

Your Federal refund is totally separate from your State.  You need to prepare a State return in order to see if you get a State refund.  The Federal & State are two separate agencies.

No one here would have your information regarding your return & when you will receive your refund.  If you e-filed was your return accepted?   Accepted means your return passed the basic identity verification.  

The IRS states that most taxpayers will receive their refund within 21 days (business days) of when their return was accepted, as long as you have e-filed, choose direct deposit, & there is no errors in your return.  States differ when they issue refunds.

Once your return(s) get accepted, you can check the status of your Federal refund on the IRS website,  Where's My Refund, updates only once a day.
