Depends. If they are federal back taxes then any leftovers you will get back.
If city back taxes as such, you will get the full tax refund as city and government are two seperate entities.
But you can file and Uncle Sugar will do the rest. Should something happen that you get a full refund. IMMEDIATELY, call the IRS to pay the back taxes.

It all depends. If they already know you're going to get a refund, they may hold up your refund and take out the taxes owed, PLUS interest, PLUS penalty, and *then* if there's any money left send you the remainder. But if the gov't bureaocracy is as screwed up as usual (left hand ingorant of right), they might do something different. Most likely, it'll be a LONG time before you see your refund.

Yes, assuming that your refund is large enough to cover the back tax liability.

If they have not processed the offset yet, you may receive your full amount if you file in advance of their final procedure. You should immediately remit their payment, with any penalties and interest if this occurs and get yourself off that list asap.

If there's anything left after paying what you owe, plus whatever penalties and interest have accumulated, then yes, you'll get it.
