Never received STATE tax refunds but always get FEDERAL - what's going on?

This could be happening for several reasons. First, check if you actually have a state tax liability - some states don't have income tax. Second, make sure you're actually filing state returns and not just federal. Third, verify your state filing status and withholdings on your W-2. You might not be having enough withheld to qualify for a refund, or you might even owe money.

I've been using taxr.ai to analyze my transcripts and it's been a game changer for understanding both federal and state tax situations. It costs $1 but totally worth it to get a clear picture of what's happening with your refunds. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

bruh check your state's tax website. each state has their own portal where u can see whats up with ur refund

This happened to me and turns out I had an old parking ticket that they were taking the money for lol. Check if your state is garnishing for any reason

who did ur taxes? if u used turbotax or something make sure u actually submitted the state return. sometimes ppl only submit federal thinking its all done

Contact your state tax agency ASAP! Don't just assume its normal to never get state refunds. Could be identity theft or worse
