I owe tax from 2016 will they automatically take that out my 2017 refund?

Yes, if you still owe federal tax from a previous year, your refund for 2017 will be seized for the amount you still owe.  You do not have to enter anything about it on your tax return.  The IRS knows and will do it automatically.
