I am not sure if I am understanding the situation correctly -- if you had refund coming from federal and you wanted that to pay for amounts owed to the State --- that does not work. TurboTax nor IRS can use your refund to pay State liabilities. Federal refund has only two choices -- refund the final amount to the taxpayer or use the refund as advance payment for the following tax year. The state works similarly. TurboTax can only help you prepare your federal and state returns, electronically file them for you. Also if you so instruct TurboTax can collect its fees from a refund and transfer the rest to you ( but not pay on your behalf ).
Does that clear your query or am I in total left field ?
