Hi, are you certain the state tax added to your income is not for 2021 state refund? If you itemize deductions and use local and state tax and also receive a refund from the state, the refund may be taxable on your next year's tax return.

In TurboTax everything flows from Federal entries to your state return.

It sounds like a double entry or a mistake in the import of Form W-2.

Double check the W-2 entries against your actual Form W-2 and make sure that your annual salary has not been entered as state tax withheld.

After you make any corrections go over the state again and make sure that W-2 entries have not been entered once again in the state interview questions.
