Can a collections/bank owed agency take my tax refund?

The IRS or state can seize (offset) a refund for back taxes, child support, or delinquent student loans, or in some states for certain outstanding debts like traffic violations.     TurboTax never knows if there is an order to offset a refund.

 NOTE: You can contact the IRS Treasury Offset Program Call Center at 1-800-304-3107 to ask if they have an offset for you on file. TurboTax would not have that information.
