Level 8

Yes, this is possible, especially if you had a lot of state tax withheld from your paycheck.

Level 2

Yes, your state refund can be bigger than your federal refund. I have the same situation this tax return. Depending on the amount, you might want to consider reducing the amount of withholding. RW

Level 11

Yes, your state refund can be larger than your federal as RW56 pointed out. If you have not filed your return, please take a look at your Tax Summary.

This summary lists your income, taxes, payments and withholding, and should give you a good idea of how the amount of your state and federal refunds were determined.
