My refund was expected to be $91 for the state return, but was refunded to $0. I don’t owe any debts to any government agency. What could cause this, and will my federal be reduced to $0?

There can be several reasons why your refund was less than the amount you expected. TurboTax does not receive feedback from the IRS regarding money that was offset from your refund. It is possible that your state reduced your refund for debts owed in your state—if the state reduced your state refund you will receive a letter from the state explaining why. Please see below for more information:

Be aware also that your Federal refund and state refund do NOT come together. Federal and state tax returns are processed by two completely separate entities.
