Will owing federal prevent state refund from being processed?
My wife is a small business owner and we filed her taxes via turbo tax online this year and due to her unique situation she owed a little bit of federal taxes but had a nice refund from the state due to overpaying on quarterly payments.
We were hoping to get the refund and pay the smaller balance owed to Federal when it showed up, but it’s as if her refund hasn’t been processed by the state. Meanwhile the bill just hit our mailbox from the IRS for the federal owed.
My question is, does the federal need to
be paid for state to be processed? Turbo tax showed “accepted” for both but it’s been a very long time to have nothing come from the state and online it’s not showing a refund owed. We live in South Carolina if that helps!
appreciate any feedback or advice, as we would prefer to not take funds from other means than just the state refund.
