Look again at both your federal Form 1040 and at your state return to see the amount for federal tax due on line 37 or for the amount of your state refund on your state form. We do not know what state you are in so we cannot tell you what line to look at. It will be down near the bottom of the state form.

Federal and state tax returns are processed by completely different entities. Your state refund cannot be used to pay federal tax due, nor can a federal refund be used to pay state tax due.
The IRS does not have anything to do with your state refund, so your state refund was not reduced by the IRS for federal tax you owed. If your state reduced your refund, they will send you a letter explaining why your refund was changed.
