One of the main reasons you may owe state taxes is because you did not pay in enough through your paychecks to cover the state income tax you actually should have paid in.

Contact your HR department or payroll department and fill out a new state withholding form to avoid owing in the future.

You can't "redo" your state income tax return however you can amend your state income tax return. Please see How do I amend my state tax return?

For additional reasons and how to check for discrepancies, see the information below.

Double check the amounts you entered into TurboTax to make sure they were entered correctly.
Do a state income tax return line by line comparison to see what is different this year versus last year.
Your 2022 State Tax Withholding was lower than 2021.
You deferred less income into your Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan or Flexible Savings Plan.
You didn't qualify for a tax credit you received last year (or the credit amount decreased).
You removed a dependent.
You changed your filing status.
If you itemize, your Itemized Deductions are lower this year. or the standard deduction is lower.
