If I owed state taxes, wouldn't turbo tax know that when they did my review?

    TurboTax never knows if you owe back taxes or child support.  That information is not shared with TurboTax by the IRS or your state.

     

    MY STATE REFUND WAS LESS THAN I EXPECTED

    The state will send you a letter explaining the change.  TurboTax does not get any feedback from your state after your return is accepted, so no one at TT knows why your state refund was less.   Did you owe back taxes, child support, or student loans?  Traffic fines, etc.?

    @slrdp503 You will have to ask the state, or wait for the letter that the state will send to you.    TT cannot find out.
