TurboTax calculates the federal and state refund amounts separately. The IRS and your state department of revenue are two different government entities.

If you have completed entering your state information, to see if you are getting a state refund or if the refund is $0 or if you owe the state, go to the state and check the refund meter at the top of the screen.

If you've already e-filed and your state return was accepted, here's how to check the status of your refund: How do I track my state refund?

Federal and state are completely separate. At the end Turbo Tax shows you the net combined federal and state for your info. But the refunds come from different places at different times.
