According to the IRS link below, the answer is yes. Federal refunds can be reduced and offset to pay past due state taxes. Current state taxes would not be deducted. They would not know the amount on time to request the offset.

they sure do. i owed a few hundred dollars from last year, but i am getting a positive amount this year. they automatically subtract what you owe from what you are getting.
for example, if you owed them $200 from last year and are expecting +$1000 this year, then you would end up getting only $800 total this year.

Nope, you'll get what you are suppose to. But if you owe, you have to pay what ever.
