The only difference is my wife retired from teaching August last year and started taking pension and small part time job.</P> Sun, 11 Apr 2021 18:36:59 GMT smilerw 2021-04-11T18:36:59Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/state-refund-wisconsin/01/2191575#M788730 <P>Why is my state refund $8,000.00 this year and only $600.00 last year?&nbsp; The checks all pass.

I have to go back and check. I'm surprised the reviews didn't catch that.</P> Mon, 12 Apr 2021 03:00:23 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-state-refund-wisconsin/01/2193423#M789418 smilerw 2021-04-12T03:00:23Z
