Why is my state tax return so high?

The most probable reason your state tax is high is that the amount of state tax being withheld throughout the year was not sufficient to cover the state tax you owed.  

You may want to consider changing your withholdings by submitting an updated  Form W-4 to your employer to have then withhold more state tax during the year.
