I had a tiny amount of tax payable to NJ (less than $1, due to less than $20 income from the state). I downloaded NJ to be complete and because the NY return asked about out-of-state things which it seems if I had the NJ download it would auto-calculate. However, I went through the entire NJ without errors and there is no $25 refund like I was advised I should get. It's sitting at $0 refund/penalty. How do I get the refund?

You would only get a maximum refund of taxes withheld as listed in box 17 on your W-2 form for wages paid in New Jersey ( per the state listed in box 15) . I believe you had no taxes withheld there per a previous post you made that I answered but later corrected. I misunderstood you to have had taxes withheld in New Jersey, but if that is not the case you are not due a refund of $25.
