My California refund is $62 lower that what I filed in the refund. There are no fees involved. Any clue why? Did anyone have a similar experience?

MY STATE REFUND WAS LESS THAN I EXPECTED

The state will send you a letter explaining the change.  TurboTax does not get any feedback from your state after your return is accepted, so no one at TT knows why your state refund was less.   Did you owe back taxes, child support, or student loans?  Traffic fines, etc.?

I received the mail from the state explaining the difference in the refund amount. They have missed accounting for a withholding. I will need to reply to them. Thank you.
