Why does NY State want to take my refund back?

Only your state would know that.  You should get a notice from your state letting you know why.  You can also contact NY state for more information

I've seen several posts like this lately. I wonder if the state incorrectly issued some refunds?

I bet it is. I saw one state had accidentally deposited the wrong refunds & took them right back.  I wonder if NY also did that.

Right. LA did it twice:
