You will get your state refund.  They are processed separately.  So you will need to make the payment to the IRS and you will receive the refund from the state.

A state tax refund can never be used to pay federal taxes owed for the current tax year.

 

You will receive the state tax refund and you will need to pay the federal taxes owed.
