You should pay the amount that you owe to the state. You misunderstood something that you saw in TurboTax. There is no way to pay your state tax from your federal refund.
TurboTax shows you a summary of your federal and state refunds or amounts due, and it shows a net amount. But that is just to show you where you stand overall. It does not mean that the state tax due will be paid out of the federal refund. You get your full federal refund, and you have to pay the amount you owe to the state. You might have chosen to have your TurboTax fees paid from your federal refund, in which case the federal refund would be reduced by the amount of the fees. But you cannot have your state tax paid that way.
