Why does my federal tax not match my state tax income

Federal and state are completely separate.  What amounts do you think should match?

Why does my federal tax not match my state tax income

Federal and state income tax laws differ.

If you are asking why Boxes 1 and 16 on your W-2 differ, that is because of the way some states treat certain employee benefits (such as a 401(k) or a Flexible Spending Plan).
