Finished my fed return. Opened my state return. A random income number has appeared in my state return. Not the same as my Federal return. How do I fix this?

Is that "random" number the number from box 16 of your W-2?

No. Really random and not related to the information on my federal return. More than twice my actual income.

One thing that fixes a lot of problems is to delete the W2 or 1099 and enter it again manually. Especially if you imported a form. Oh and if you change anything on the federal side then start the state return over.
