I used Turbotax Deluxe for filing both federal and Indiana taxes. I owed both money. Both E-filings were accepted. Now I received a letter from the state of Indiana Dept. of Revenue saying that I didn't pay and assessed me a penalty plus interest. In looking at my bank info it tells me that both payments were sent to the IRS instead of one of them going to the Indiana Department of Revenue. How is this possible? Why was it sent to the wrong place? Where is the extra IRS payment go since it does not appear on the IRS site?

You cannot pay the state of IN tax due by putting direct debit/credit information into the software. That is not one of the ways to pay your IN tax. Look at the page that printed out when you filed your tax return and see how you were supposed to pay your IN tax. You need to pay by check or money order, or by going on the IN tax web site.

It sounds like you entered debit information to pay federal tax due---which is allowed---and assumed you could pay IN the same way. The IRS did not take out the money you owed IN. The IRS took your federal payment. You did not make an extra payment to the IRS. Nothing happened with the payment for IN. You still need to pay it.
