Can you help me resolve the adjusted federal refund of $7,781 as showing on Turbo but I only received $4,454 a difference of $2,327 which exact amt of State tax refund?

Can we verify why the whole amount of State tax refund $2,327 was deducted from adjusted federal Tax of $7,781?Refund?

Where did you see the $7,781?   What is on your federal 1040 line 35a?   That is your IRS refund.  At the end Turbo Tax just shows you the net federal and state combined. But that is only for your info. You will still get the full refund and you need to pay a tax due. 

Federal and state are completely separate.   And you can never have the tax due from one deducted from a refund.

Oh I thought you said you had a state tax due because you said “deducted”.   No federal and state refunds come from separate places at different times.  You can not get them together unless they happen to get deposited on the same day.   Like I said above you must have seen the total refund combined at the end.   You need to check your actual 1040 return line 35a  for the refund.
