Yes, it's possible that a state refund could be more than a federal refund.
For example, you may have to pay self-employment tax on your federal return, but not on your state return, resulting in a higher state refund.
If your state refund seems too high, it's worth taking a moment to review the state information boxes on your W-2 forms.
To review your W-2 in TurboTax Online:
- Open you return.
- Select Federal, then Wages & Income.
- To the right of Job (W-2), select Edit/ Add.
- Expand the section by selecting the down arrow to the right
- Select Edit below the W-2 information.
- Review your W-2 information here, paying particular attention to boxes 16, 17, 18 and 19. Make corrections if needed, then select Continue.
- Select Continue to return to the Wages & Income screen.
