After you file

Wait until you are sure the money has been deposited to your account.  It is a bit odd for the state to pay twice and it may just be something in the banking system that makes it look like a double deposit.  

If it IS deposited twice - DON'T SPEND IT!  You don't say which state you are in, but you should write a check to the "Department of Revenue" and send it with a letter explaining you received two refunds.   Don't do it immediately, but don't forget, either.   Sometimes the state will catch an error and reverse it on their own.  Give it a couple of weeks.
