I filed my taxes, both MO ( i work in MO) and Illinoise where I live.   My federal originally said I was getting back $3505, and MO state $775. (totals $4280) and that I owe Illinois $1023.  then when completed my total back from federal and state totaled $3257  so it appears they deducted the $1023.  so why did it print out a voucher saying I need to pay the $1023?

Each government entity is separate. They do not share money. You will get a federal refund. You will get a MO refund. You must pay IL. The program was just giving you the grand total adding and subtracting for you to know the big picture.

Please pay MO the amount due. You can pay online at Make a Payment - Options for Individuals or you can mail the voucher.
