I just received my federal refund. The amount I owe the state was subtracted from it. How can I find out if the state was already paid through TurboTax? If it hasn't been paid - can I stop the payment through TurboTax?
No. You are misinterpreting something--probably because of that "summary" that TurboTax showed you that netted out the difference between a refund you had coming to you and tax owed. The only thing that can be deducted from your federal refund is your TurboTax fees--if you chose that option. And if you chose that, remember that it also included a "refund processing fee" of $39.99 ($44.99 in CA).
Your state tax due cannot be paid from your federal refund.
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. If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment, 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.
