Will I get my federal refund direct deposit on the same day as I pay my state tax direct debit? I can’t pay my state tax until I get my federal return

I don’t have the money to pay my state tax, but I’ll be able to when I get my federal return. Is the direct deposit federal return and state tax direct payment done on the same day?

You are asking about two completely separate entities.   What you do with your federal deposit has nothing to do with paying your state tax due.   It will be up to you to pay your state tax due using whatever method you choose to use, when you choose to do it.   It is now past the deadline.

 

 

Your state tax due cannot be paid from your federal refund. 

It is not possible to pay your state tax due from your federal refund, nor is it possible to pay a federal tax due from a state refund.  The federal and state treasuries are completely separate from each other.  You may have seen a TurboTax summary of your federal and state amounts that confused you into thinking one was “paying” the other.  It is not. The ONLY thing you can pay for from a federal refund is your TurboTax fees if you chose that option.  

 

 If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

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.

Unless IRS refund status gives you a deposit date, you can't know when your federal refund will arrive.

Many refunds are delayed.

 

I'm assuming you did not file yet..

For your state return, say "I'll mail a  check", then you can wait indefinitely for your fed refund.

no one can say when your IRS Direct Deposit will occur?  So the state may try to debit your a/c before the federal deposit is received.
