Taxes owed means you have to pay the taxes owed.  You are not getting a tax refund.

Refund = money you  get back

Tax Due = money you owe and need to pay by April 15, 2024

 

Look at your Form 1040.   

 

If there is an amount on line 35a you are getting a refund

 

If there is an amount on line 37 you owe and are not getting a refund

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
