TurboTax never "pays" your state or federal tax due. You have to pay the state using the state's preferred method of payment, which is usually by check or money order, or by paying on the state's own web site. There are some states that allow you to enter direct debit information into the software so that the state will take your payment out, but TurboTax only passes that information along to the state. It is up to the state to take out the payment; it is not TurboTax's responsibility to make the payment. And, you can never ever pay the state from a federal refund. Your only proof that you paid your state tax due will be your own bank or credit card records.
Look carefully at the filing instructions that printed out with your tax return to see what you specified as the method of payment for your state tax that was due for that tax year.
