I recently got my state tax return. When I signed the papers my tax consultant gave me, it was $1300 for state, 1300 for federal. But the actual check I received for the state tax was $280...was there a mistake on someone's end? or would this be the correct amount. Is there anyway I can fix it if was it was mistake?
I did get 1500 for my federal though..

Double check your copies of the forms, but if the numbers are as you remember them, take it back to your tax consultant and ask them what's going on. It sounds like maybe there was something wrong on both returns, unless you owed the state $1020 for some past debt and they took it out. But that wouldn't explain the federal being different too, and your getting more there than expected. Sounds like a sloppy job someplace.

Sounds like your "tax consultant" messed up the numbers he or she gave you. If they told you $1,300 each for State and Federal and you got $280 and $1,500 respectively, I'd say it's time for a new "tax consultant." That's an extremely elementary error and a bit hard to excuse IMHO.

Yeah it sounds like either a mistake or a misunderstanding. Contact your consultant and ask him for an explanation.
