some all or none of it may be taxable .

There is a calculation.

That's what you're paying TurboTax for.

Understand your reply but, the amount of refund entered is less than the amount of refund on the 2020 tax return.  Why would my 2020 state refund be more on the tax return?  2019's tax return shows the exact amount entered in the tax return.

The amount on my finished tax return is exactly double what I entered.  Why would the number double?
