The option to pay your TurboTax using your federal refund means you will pay an extra fee of $39 so that a third party bank will receive your refund, deduct the TT fees and send you the rest of the refund. Or....you can pay upfront using your own debit or credit card and avoid that extra fee and extra delay/extra handling of your refund.

And....you can never pay state tax due from a federal refund, so do not expect that. The state tax due has to be paid directly to your state.
