The extension will eliminate the late filing fee and full payment is optimal, however, pay what you can now and wait for your state refund to add another payment if you want before you actually file. Or, you can choose to pay the balance due when you file your return. The unpaid tax balance will continue to accumulate interest and late payment fees until paid in full.
There is also a possible option to request an installment agreement for a fee.
