No its not taxed. When you receive your refund, you will notice that their nothing withheld from your refund of any sort. You definitely do not have to report your refund to the IRS-its your money that you earned.

Is your federal income tax refund considered income on your state return?

I can't answer for all states, but in VT the amount of Federal tax refunds are not taxable on the state return. Further in that VT piggy-backs the federal return. (Uses the federal tax as basis for computing state tax), it would take some tricky math to calculate. The state refund is taxable on the federal return (if you itemized deductions the year before), so in that instance, the amount of the state refund for that year would, in fact, be taxed on the federal return and thus that portion would be again taxed by the state (VT) as a result of the "piggy-backing" method used by the state.

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.
