Under 18 but I owe to state

Hey just want to make sure this is right. I'm 17 and I thought that I got all of state and federal back. After going through the process it says that I owe for state. Is this right?

If your income is high enough, then you don't necessarily get a full refund of your withholding. What state are you in?

Being younger than 18 does not matter for your Illinois state tax return. It does matter, however, if you are claimed a dependent on another person's return; your taxes will be up to $113 more if you are.

Otherwise, your federal adjusted gross income (with any applicable additions or subtractions) is subjected to Ilinois income tax at a rate of 4.95%. That Illinois tax amount is compared to what was withheld from your paycheck and reported in box 17 of your W-2. The difference is a refund or more tax due.
