Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, federal taxes owed are not paid with your state tax refund.  If you are getting a state refund and have a federal amount due, you would simply make the payment for your federal return and then enter your checking account number for direct deposit or choose to have a check mailed to you for the state. 

If you have back due federal taxes, the IRS can levy your state refund.
