1099-MISC income as a former employee

I got a 1099-MISC form for freelance work that I do as an independent contractor. When I was first entering the 1099-MISC information into Turbo Tax, it asked me whether any of this work was for a former employer. At first, I indicated that none of this work was for a former employer, and both my federal and state refund amounts increased. Then, I changed my mind and switched it to say that all of this work was for a former employer, and only my federal refund decreased but my state refund did not decrease. Should my state refund have decreased too when I indicated that all of this work was for a former employer?
