Huh? If you owe a state tax due there is no state refund to take it out of. You mean the federal refund?

NO, 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.

@Michy 12 if you have state tax due to North Carolina, suggest filing the tax return without a payment.

Unlike the IRS, North Carolina doesn't let you set up a payment plan in advance of filing.

After you file the return (without the payment), the State will send you information about setting up a payment plan to pay the taxes. Once paid, all of the penalties will be waived and you'll only be left with the interest.

The State is very reasonable....
