Do you go to federal prison or state prison for not paying your taxes?

No, you do not go to prison, but the IRS will relentlessly pursue you until you pay your taxes. They can take your house, your car, and everything you own.
Best thing to avoid the mental anguish is to contact them. Generally the IRS and State reps are very nice if you want to make things right. Once you get called on the carpet, so to speak, it sucks. Take care of it before their angry reps take over. You can't get away from them. Sorry, but you'll feel 1000% better knowing that your "good" tax profile "in progress." Everything good takes time and some effort. Good luck.

Both federal and state taxes are enforced by different agencies. If you fail to pay federal taxes, you could face prosecution in federal court and potentially be sentenced to federal prison. However, if you don't pay state taxes, you may face legal consequences at the state level, which could include imprisonment depending on the severity of the offense and state laws.

Can you still get a federal tax refund if you didn't pay state tax the year prior?
You can file a federal tax return and get a refund regardless of the status of your state taxes. If you owe overdue taxes to the state and they have gotten around to it, the state can intercept your federal refund. So, your refund might go to paying your overdue state taxes instead of being sent to you. But unless you file a federal tax return, no refund will be generated and your state taxes will not be paid.

Why some bonds are taxable in Federal as well State?
Nearly all bonds are taxable both federal and state. To be exact, the interest the bonds pay is taxable (as well as any capital gain resulting from trading bonds). The reason is that the tax code taxes interest. Bonds are a way of borrowing money and paying interest to the lender. Bonds issued by the federal government are exempt from state taxes. Bonds issued by states and municipalities are mostly exempt from federal taxes (and exempt from taxes in the state that issued them in some states).
