You do not say why your state refund was offset.  TurboTax never knows about offsets to your federal or state refund so no one at TT can tell you if the IRS is going to offset your federal 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.

You will need to reach out to the IRS to find out why the refund is delayed. @xmasbaby9 is correct.
