Why do you think it is incorrect?  We cannot see your screen, your return or your account.   How much is your state refund?  What is in box 17 of your W-2?  What state?   What kinds of income did you enter?

There are many factors that go into determining your overall tax refund, such as other sources of income or credits you could be entitled to.

 

Any changes essentially depend upon your overall tax return from 2019 to 2020.  Any changes from year to year will impact your overall refund or tax liability when you file. 

 

I recommend reviewing the differences between the years to help you determine exactly why there is a change in your state taxes by doing the following:

 

In TurboTax, you can view your tax summary for your 2020 tax return by doing the following:

  1. Go into the black panel on the left and select Tax Tools
  2. Then select Tools beneath Tax Tools. 
  3. A "Tools Center" box will pop up, select "View Tax Summary" 
  4. You will see a screen that gives a snapshot of your taxes based upon your input so far. 
  5. Click on the black panel on the left bar and select Preview my New Jersey Tax Summary
  6. This will allow you to review your overall line items on your state tax return.  Compare these amounts to your actual tax return for 2019 to help you determine why there is difference from year to year.

 After you review the above items, simply select "Back" in the black panel to get back to the interview forms.

You should amend your state return as soon as possible to be sure that if any tax is due, it is paid on time.  This will eliminate interest and penalty for late payment.

Select the TurboTax product you used to prepare your original return.  Read all of the instructions before you begin so that TurboTax knows the original numbers and the changed numbers.
