After amending my taxes, I will be receiving a state refund. I initially needed to pay the state. Do I still need to pay even though my amended taxes call for a refund?

No, you should not need to pay the balance due if your amended return is showing a refund.

When you create an amended return it should know that the original return showed a balance due.  You should have seen a question regarding whether or not you have already paid the balance due.  Your answer to that question will be taken into account in the calculation for the bottom line of the amended return.
