The state of Michigan Sent me a letter saying I have a past due debut of 1,434.90 It became past due on 4\18\2017. Why did I get this letter. I don't remember missing any payments to my state. Is there a way I can prove I paid? If so what form to I send to the State of Michigan. I thought turbo tax is surrposed to help with that. how can I correct this mistake so I don't keep getting letter saying I owe money.

Sounds like this is an old debt to the state of Michigan. TurboTax won't be able to resolve this issue for you. You'll need to contact the state of Michigan yourself for clarification. The letter should offer instructions on how to challenge the state's assessment.

Your only proof that you paid your tax due to the state is your own bank/credit card records. TurboTax never knows how, when or even if you paid your state tax. Sometimes users misunderstand and think that their federal refund was used to pay the state. The state can not be paid from a federal refund when you file your tax return. If the debt is old enough, it is possible that the IRS would SEIZE a federal refund for an old state debt.
Do you know how to access your 2017 return? Print out a copy for yourself and have it ready when you start making calls about this.
You have to access your own account and/or print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.
Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.

Also....Sounds like that would be for a 2016 tax return, to be filed in early 2017. The 15th was on a weekend Saturday, so deadline to file & pay a tax due would be midnight Monday the 17th, and if not paid, it would be past-due on the 18th.
So somehow, you would need to find your Bank Checking account, or Credit Card payment records for 2017...
