Sorry, but I don't understand any of that. Can you explain it better or differently?
You said "had to pay in federal I paid from my checking account at the bank" Did you owe Federal taxes due when you filed your return?
"when I go into irs to see where the other portion is"
What other portion? What does that mean?
Does your 2018 return that you filed show Federal taxes owed or a Federal refund?
Look at your 2018 Form 1040, Line 20a. Is there a Federal refund amount shown on that line? If so, that's the figure to use at this IRS website to check on a Federal refund:
https://www.irs.gov/Refunds
If your 2018 return shows you owed taxes due (Form 1040, Line 22), then you can't use that IRS tool. It's just for refunds.
What TurboTax product did you use? Was it online TurboTax, and if so, which edition--Free Edition, PLUS, Deluxe, Premier, etc.?
You also wrote: "then the same amount was taken from my state refund."
I don't know what that refers to. Taken by whom, and for what??
