Has anyone else gotten shorted on their state refund? I used my refund to pay for the filing and the amount they sent me is $200 short. Has anyone else have this happen to you, and how did you fix it?

    If it was indeed $200 less than the amount shown as a refund on the final version of your tax return, there are several possibilities. Do you owe back taxes or another kind of government obligation that the state could have taken? Did you make a mistake in entering your state tax withholding?

    Check those things first; if neither applies, contact the state taxing authority (or look at your transcript online, if your state has that option) and ask them.
