If the IRS is taking too long to send your refund you still have to pay the fees in time.
See What if the IRS reduces your refund or delays it.
Then when the IRS does send your refund they won't take the fees out again.
And, Why you got charged,
You should have received about 4 emails asking for the fees. If you don't pay they will debit your account. You had to agree to it.
See this FAQ that explains the process. The first paragraph of the FAQ has a special phone number if you have a question or have a hardship and need to ask for a deferment.
Hours are 5AM-5PM Pacific (8AM-8PM Eastern), Mon-Fri
If you need to ask for a deferment, you should call them as soon as possible. Once they actually start the debit process, they say they can't stop it.
FAQ: Why was my bank account auto-debited for the TurboTax fees?
The first paragraph there says:
If you’re in need of assistance, call us by the Tuesday prior to your debit date at 1-888-808-1723 to speak with a trained specialist and mention “auto-debit”, or visit TurboTax Support.
If for some reason you can't reach Support with that phone number in the FAQ, there may be one in your emailed bill. Otherwise, here's an alternate way to reach them, but try the one mentioned above first.
FAQ: What is the TurboTax phone number?

TurboTax has no way to know that you owe back taxes. Only the IRS knows that, and if you still owe for a past tax year, the IRS will offset your refund for the tax you owe.
