I think what you mean is your refund is more than the unemployment income you received as reported on your 1099-G form?

If so, you may be getting a Recovery Rebate Credit if you didn't receive all of the stimulus payments you were entitled to. You were due a stimulus payment of $1,800 for yourself and more for your spouse and children if applicable to you.

In TurboTax you were asked to enter how much you received, if you entered less that $1,800, then you may have had some stimulus money added to your refund.

You can look on line 30 of your form 1040 to see if you have a Recovery Rebate Credit while working in TurboTax online by using these menu tabs:

Thank you for trying to answer my poorly worded question. The problem was with the TT software I think. It reported my state refund as 2x the actual amount. The next time I logged in the issue was resolved.
