Yes. You could choose not to, but that tends to come with legal consequences. I do income taxes for friends and family - not a professional filer. - CRA is running a "tab" on your account... ie the debit is collecting interest, and depending upon the cause of the outstanding tax, possible penalties. - When you next file, they will be expecting payment on the past debit. - When it comes time that the government owes you money (Old age, child tax benifit, HST rebate etc, they will deduct the tax owing until the tax is paid. - The filing that you make this year is dependant upon the incomes of this year, not the past history. So I interpret this to say "no you don't HAVE to file this year if your income level etc doesn't require it. But remember - I am not a professional and may be wrong. Personally, I would file anyhow! Filing doesn't change the past "owings".

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.
