TurboTax doesn't have the information to track your state's refund.    You can refer to the TurboTax article How do I track my state refund? to find out more information regarding your refund after you e-file and your state tax return is accepted.

Your refund could be offset. The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts.  You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for.    The IRS provides a toll-free number, (800) 304-3107, to call for information about tax offsets.

Because you made an LLC, your options are limited.  In a community property state, you file as 2 schedule C businesses, one in the name of each spouse, with each business reporting half the income and half the expenses.     Your wife does not report you as a subcontractor or employee.  You are each considered owners of a schedule C business and each schedule C reports half the income and half the expenses.  Each schedule C business can use either an EIN or the owner's SSN.   If you have contractors issuing 1099s to the business, they can issue the 1099 to either spouse's "business."  But in the end, you still divide income and expenses 50/50, even if the 1099s are not divided that way.

This could be a scam.  Contact the state and speak with an agent to verify - See this TurboTax support FAQ for state department of revenue contacts - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=ma7236hy   The IRS only retains federal tax returns for the past seven years, so they will not have a copy of the 2010 federal return.

The mid-quarter convention. Use this convention if the mid-month convention does not apply and the total depreciable bases of MACRS property you placed in service during the last 3 months of the tax year......are more than 40% of the total depreciable bases of all MACRS property you placed in service during the entire year.   Did you place other assets in service during the 2019 tax year?
