We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question? Did you owe Federal or state in previous years? You  received refund from federal or state?

surprised you got a refund. but you can cash it and then use the funds to make a payment. penalties and interest will continue to accrue until the back taxes are paid in full
