Are you using Online TurboTax?  If so, you will need another account.   Online TurboTax can prepare only 1 Federal return per online account per year.  To prepare a second return requires a different separate account (different User ID).    You can use the same email address in the Account Settings for notification purposes in up to 5 accounts, if desired, but each log-in User ID must be unique.   Do NOT try to prepare a second return in the same account, or it will overwrite the first one.   For future reference, desktop editions can prepare multiple Federal returns with up to 5 Federal efiles.

No, you cannot pay Federal taxes due out of a state refund.   Are you sure you're not looking at a "net figure" that combines the Federal and State final figures?  TurboTax has a summary figure at the Tax Home that confuses folks because of that summary figure that includes both the Federal and State situations.  i.e., if that's what you are looking at,  on the Tax Home TurboTax is showing what someone has left in their pocket (the "net") when considering both the Federal and State.   That does not mean the Federal tax is being paid out of the state refund, which cannot be done.   It is not possible to pay Federal taxes due out of a state refund.    You have to make your own arrangement to pay the Federal tax due.    See this FAQ:   FAQ:  How can I pay my Federal taxes? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/pay-federal-taxes/L6HFgj2eJ_US_en_US

I turned off my VPN and my Windows is fully up-to-date.  Chrome is fully updated as well.  I also tried with Edge - no luck. Please advise. I can't tell from your posting if you mean the webpage at that link is spinning, or if you mean you go that page, but after you choose a product and then indicate Windows or Mac, it then spins while downloading the installation file?   In other words, what is failing--the very first webpage at that link you posted or the file download after you choose a product?   If you can't even get the page at that link to display, try using your browsers in Private Browsing mode, aka Incognito Mode.   Also, are you using any script blockers or overly-restrictive ad blockers or exuberant browser security settings?
