I received my State tax refund, but amount was less than what was filed and accepted. How do I check this?

MY STATE REFUND WAS LESS THAN I EXPECTED

The state will send you a letter explaining the change. TurboTax does not get any feedback from your state after your return is accepted, so no one at TT knows why your state refund was less. Did you owe back taxes, child support, or student loans? Traffic fines, etc.?

@Lebanon2017 Only the state can explain. Contact the state and ask.
