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.?

You should contact your state's Department of Revenue and find out why the amount of your refund was reduced if you do not receive a letter soon.  

 

Reasons your refunded amount is less than the amount on your tax return.   Where it says IRS - replace that with your state.
