That's just the way it is. There is no reason to expect that the state tax would be less than the federal tax, or that they would be the same. One has nothing to do with the other. There are many factors that affect the amount of tax for both state and federal. It just happened to work out that your state tax is more than your federal tax.
If you still have questions about this, please clarify exactly what tax amount you are looking at. Are you talking about the total tax calculated on your tax return, or are you talking about the refund or amount that you owe? What is the form number and line number are you looking at on each tax return, and what state are you in?
