State tax filing

I would need to know what state you are working with to be more specific, but most states have a simple tax rate structure, which means they typically have one or two tax rates that are multiplied by your income to determine the tax amount.

 

If you look up the tax rate percentage in the state you are filing for and compare that with the percent of tax withheld on your W-2 form (box 17 divided by 16), you will probably find that the percentage of tax withheld is less than what it should have been. So, you may have not had enough tax withheld from your pay.
