After you file

If the IRS reduced your refund they will send you a letter in several weeks that explains why your refund was reduced.   You may just be confused by the math or the summary that was shown to you in TurboTax.   Again---it is completely impossible to pay a state tax due from a federal refund.  That never happens.  Never.  The only thing that can be paid from your federal refund is your TurboTax fees if you choose that option.
