Why did i get my state tax and not my refund yet

If your Federal return has been processing longer than 21 days, you can phone the IRS to see if you can learn anything about the delay.

IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.
 
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.

  • Then do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
  • Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
  • Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  
  • Then press 3 "for all other questions."
  • Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.
I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.

Why did i get my state tax and not my refund yet

It's not clear what that means, so I'll try to guess a bit.
.
Were you due to get both a Federal refund and a state refund, and are you asking why you received a state refund first and have not yet received a Federal refund?

It's unpredictable which one will come first, since those are 2 different tax agencies, each doing their own thing.

Here are some things you can check for the Federal refund:

If you efiled the Federal return, you can use this tool to check the efile status.  Was it accepted?

If that showed it was accepted (or if you mailed the return), what do you see at the IRS website below for the status of your Federal refund?  Click the blue button "Check My Refund Status."
