I think you may be looking at a confusing summary screen in Online TurboTax that shows what you will have left after those 3 transactions occur. In other words, it shows a net figure of the amount left in your pocket. That is not really a refund amount. Does the following explain it?
-1164 that you have to pay to Federal for taxes owed
-679 that you have to pay to non-resident state for taxes owed
+2369 money received from resident state refund
When you add those 3 transactions up, the total is $526, which is the NET amount you have in your pocket at the end of the day. The $526 is not a refund amount; it's simply how you come out overall considering the state refund and the 2 tax payments. Does that explain what you are seeing on that screen?
By the way, the taxes owed cannot be paid out of a state refund, so I assume you are making arrangements on your own to pay the Federal tax owed and the non-resident state tax owed.
