State Taxes never charged

I filed my taxes with TurboTax mobile back on April 15.  I owed for state and federal.  I had the option to pay state through TurboTax and pay for the software at the same time.  I chose that option.  However days later I was only charged for the software.  The state never took out the taxes I owed.  Nothing was debited from my account.  How long do states take before they debit your account.  It’s been almost a month.  I’m worried the software didn’t work and the state never got paid and I’ll owe plus penalties.

    you can't have a state tax due deducted from your federal refund.  Never.  You can only have the Turbo Tax fees deducted from your refund.  See,  Can I pay my state taxes from my federal refund?

     

    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.

    I did not have a refund from federal. I used direct debit for for both TT and the state taxes owed together and processed at the same time through TT mobile.  I can’t find on my return where it says any of this.

    Your tax return will not show an indication for direct debit.  Look at the Filing Instructions page or on the Information Worksheet for the Federal and State tax return in Part V of the worksheet.  Use Print Center.

     

    To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

     

    When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

    This will take you back to the 2021 online tax return.

    Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets
