If money is taken out of my tax by the state all year, why do I owe state tax and why is it so high?

There could be a couple of reasons that you state taxes are so high this year.

You may want to verify that you entered everything into TurboTax correctly by following these steps:

Select Tax Tools on the left hand side of your screen,
Select Tools,
Select View Tax Summary,
Select Preview my State Return on the left hand side of your screen.

There could also be a change in your state withholdings for 2019, or your state may have some new taxes in place. You may want to check with your State Governing Body for tax changes.
