No if you e-filed you cannot cancel it. If you made some kind of mistake on your state return you can amend it later after it has been processed. But first figure out why it is less. Compare the amounts in boxes 16 and 17 on your 2019 and 2020 W-2s. Are they different? Did you receive unemployment in 2020---some states tax unemployment so if you received that without having state tax withheld it affected your state refund,
There are two factors that will determine the size of your state refund (or what you owe).
Your income determines the amount of tax you owe. This not only includes your wages, but also any other type of income you may have had. Based on criteria established by the IRS there are tables that determine the amount of tax that you owe.
The amount you had withheld generally come from your W-2 income; however, taxes can be withheld from other forms of income. If the taxes withheld is more than what you owe you will get a refund. If not, you will owe money.
I first suggest that you go back into your tax return and make sure that you have entered all of your state tax income and withholdings.
As long as you have not filed your return you do have the option to Clear and start over.
I do not recommend this, but it will work.
