You may not have been able to pay your TurboTax fees with your refund because you did not meet one of the requirements for this service.

They are as follows.

Your refund must be enough to cover your TurboTax fees.
You must have an address in the United States.
You must be e-filing.
The name on the bank account must match the name on the tax return.
Your refund must be directly deposited into a single account.

Just skip this anyway, try to pay TurboTax up front, paying with refund sends your refund thru a third party bank and costs $40 for this “service”, it’s like a very bad loan on your fees.
