My federal due is being taking out my state, yet I am asked to pay. it doesn't make sense.

You misunderstood. 

Your federal tax due cannot be paid from your state 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.

where are you looking. it's probable you're looking at your net tax liability as presented by TT.   in fact you;ll need to pay federal or enter into installment agreement and you'll get your state refund without reduction for amount owed federal.  this is provided there is no IRS lein for amounts due for past periods.
