Why would TurboTax ask 2015 state estimated taxes paid in 2016? Why would I be entering my 4th estimated payment that was applied to tax year 2015 to 2016?

The 4th payment which is due 1/15/2016 is a deduction on the Federal return as an itemized deduction for the state taxes paid in 2016.  

It is not crediting the withholding to the state return, as that was applied to the 2015 state return.  It is however giving you the itemized deduction.

Hope this clarifies it for you.
