Why is it saying balance due when I paid what I owed when i filed with a card?

Do you mean your Form 1040?

TurboTax (and your 2017 tax return) will always show the amount due, even 10 years from now.  TurboTax does not keep track of your payments made to the IRS.  Your TurboTax account will show a balance due until next year when it is time to do 2018 taxes.  At that time, the meter will revert back to 0.  However, next year, when you look at your history, it will still show a balance due for 2017 because that is what your 2017 tax result was.  This is completely normal.  

You can use this IRS link to check your status with the government at any time.  https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account  As long as the payment was charged to your card, you really do not have anything to worry about, but you can still check your IRS account at any time.
