If your business does not make any money you dont owe federal tax. In NC you owe state tax even if you operated a sole proprietor lawn business and lost $5,000. Unfortunately I was just going to start a business there, think i changed my mind.

Will my federal tax refund from 2011 be applied to what I owe for 2010?

When you file your taxes for 2011 you will be given the option to put all or part of your refund towards your NEXT years taxes. But since you owe taxes from the previous year you will most likely not receive a tax refund as it will automatically be applied to what is already owed to the IRS. It is best to set aside money each month if you are self employed, or if unemployed as you stated, if you file for unemployment payments, have your taxes deducted from your paymnts prior to your receiving them. If your refund exceeds the amount your currently owe from last years taxes you will receive a letter stating how much has been with-held and what, if any, your remaining balance is either owed to you from your refund or still owed to the IRS.
