Will turbo tax pay my state and federal taxes out of my federal return

If you owe federal tax you are not getting a federal refund.  It cannot be both.  And a state tax due can never be paid from a federal refund.   You need to take a better look at your returns to see if you are getting a refund or if you owe.

 

HOW MUCH IS MY REFUND?  DO I OWE?

No one else can see your screen, your tax return or your account. But YOU can see it.

 

What does it say on the "refund monitor" on the screen?

Look at your Form 1040.  What do you see on line 34  Line 37?

 Line 34 is a refund

Line 37 is tax due that you have to pay to the IRS by April 15, 2021

What does the TurboTax summary show you?  What does it say in Tax Home?

What are your fees?  Are you having them deducted from your federal refund?  If so, then do some math.

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?

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. The ONLY thing you can pay for from a federal refund is your TurboTax fees if you chose that option. 

 

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, 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.

@Doyle fayne Your four word post does not fully explain what your issue is.   Best guess---you want to pay your TurboTax fees with your federal refund.   You can make that choice IF your federal refund will be enough to cover all of your TurboTax fees including the EXTRA refund processing fee of $39.99 ($44.99 in CA) for having the fees taken out by a third party bank and IF you refund is enough without using the amounts on line 28 or 30 from the child tax credit or refund recovery credit.   If your refund is not enough to pay, then you will need to pay upfront using a debit or credit card.

 

If you have a different issue or question, please post a complete question.
