Sorry you misunderstood.

The state tax can not be deducted from the federal refund. NEVER. You can only have the Turbo Tax fees deducted. You will still get the full federal refund minus any fees you had deducted. Turbo Tax just shows you a screen at the end showing the Net amount of federal and state combined. But it is just for your own info. You do still have to pay the state yourself separately. See,

Check the printout or PDF of your return; look for the state cover sheet with the Turbotax logo. If you owed tax, it will show the payment information and how/when you decided to pay. Read the state payment instructions carefully since most states cannot be paid from within the TT system and requires additional steps.

Understand that when you owe money to "ANY" taxing authority, TurboTax does not, can not, and will not act as a middleman in that transaction. There are no exceptions.

Additionally, the IRS will not pay any taxes due to another taxing authority, from your federal tax refund. Again, there are no excptions.

Any money owed to any taxing authority is between you and that authority directly.
