Can I owe state taxes but not federal taxes? Since my income is very low, why is that the case?

It's possible, especially if you had little or no state tax withheld. Check your state withholding from your W-2, if you have one to see if it's sufficient. 

Also, go through your state return, and make sure you've entered all the information correctly. If there's a summary screen for your state taxes, is that information correct?
