@user17632779997 from what you wrote,
by 'state tax paid' do you mean the tax liability?
maybe best to use line numbers from the tax return so that there is no misunderstanding.

Line 12 is the tax liability. It is what you owe
Line 19 is the non-refundable credits. It can reduce Line 12 but not below zero.
Line 28 is the refundable credits. It can reduce Line 12 and go below zero. (if below zero, that is the refund on Line 34, if not below zero that is the Amount Due on line 29)
what is the specific non-refundable credit that you see TT using?
When you state that a Tax Refund can be greater than Tax Paid, what two lines are you referring to? Tax Refund is Line 34. But there is no specific line item called "Tax Paid". Do you mean the Tax Liablity on Line 12 or do you mean the sum of the W-2 withholdings (line 20) and estimated taxes paid (line 21)?
