NO.
It is not possible to pay your state tax due from your federal refund, nor is it possible to pay a federal tax due from a state refund. The federal and state treasuries are completely separate from each other. You may have seen a TurboTax summary of your federal and state amounts that confused you into thinking one was “paying” the other. It is not. The ONLY thing you can pay for from a federal refund is your TurboTax fees if you chose that option.
If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

No. TurboTax does not pay any taxes owed for you.
In the File section of the program on Step 2, when taxes are owed you are given several options on how to pay the taxes owed. IF one of those options is direct debit from your bank account the bank information is sent with the e-filed tax return. The state tax authority for your state will debit your account on the date you specified.
