It could be due to an IRS or state refund offset.  A refund offset is when a refund is reduced or intercepted to pay off delinquent debt. If it is due to an offset you will receive a letter in the mail that will explain the reason.

Also, sometimes changes are made by the IRS or State Department of Revenue to your tax return.

You may also contact your state (expect a long wait time):
