Why wasn't my State Tax payment taken from my checking account?

The date you indicate for your money to be debited serves more as a "not before this date" than a "take it on this date".  State returns often take longer to process, and your state return may not have been processed in time to make your payment date.

However, sometimes if they miss this date, your state will not take the money at all, lest you not have the funds available.  I suggest that you contact your state and see what they say.  If your account has not been debited by April 12, you may wish to make another payment.  Your state will refund the excess if you end up paying twice, and you don't want to get stuck with a penalty for failing to pay.

The money was never withdrawn from my account for the state so a 631.00 bill turned into 714.00 and the state told me if I want refunded the remainder I should get ahold of you guys because they said that wasn’t there problem it was the tax provider. So just wandering if you guys are going to refund the delinquent charges that I should have never been charged with. Just so you know I wasn’t lacking funds.

Turbo Tax only passes your bank account number to the state for the state to take it out of your account.  But most states do not let you pay by Direct Debit so you have to mail in a check or go directly to the state's website to pay.  And some banks use different routing numbers for deposits and payments.  Double check the number you entered with your bank.

Check the printout or PDF of your return; look for the state cover sheet with the Turbotax logo.  If you owed tax, it will show the payment information and how/when you decided to pay.  Read the state payment instructions carefully since most states cannot be paid from within the TT system and requires additional steps.
