Why is TurboTax charging us our state tax upfront and not taking it out of our federal

State taxes owed can never be paid from a federal tax refund, Never.

In the File section of the program Step 2, you are given several options on how to pay the state taxes owed. Payment from the federal tax refund is Not one of those options.

Are you referring to payment of the TurboTax account fee for the state program used with the TurboTax online editions?

Is there a payment option in the state taxes that are owed that can be applied?

State payment plans would have to be applied for from your State Department of Revenue website. You would need to file the state tax return and then apply for a payment plan on the state website.

You can e-file the state tax return and use the option to pay the state taxes owed by mail with a payment voucher. E-file the return and then do not send the payment, but Only if you apply for the payment plan and it is approved by the state.
