First, make sure the amount of state tax withheld were entered correctly in TurboTax.

Here are the most common reason why you might owe the state this year:

  • Your income increased.
  • You didn't have enough state tax withheld from your paychecks. 
  • You lost a dependent.
  • You changed your filing status.

I recommend that you make a line by line comparison with last year's return to see what is different this year.
