You can go to this link Topic No. 203 Reduced Refund there is a phone number you can call to see if there was a refund offset.

If this is putting you into financial hardship, please see this link:Taxpayer Advocate Service

Where in any of what I said did I say anything in regards to a stimulus check?  Who cares about a stimulus check...... I'm talking about my federal refund, I'm talking about my offset refund that one side says no I won't get a refund and the other that says yes, I will get a refund. Why is it that other programs that charge less can tell you upfront that you will have money withheld due to a possible offset before you file and Turbo Tax can't even after charging $200 **bleep**ing dollars?? Oh but wait, I should check myself cause I just gained another stupid **bleep**ing badge, thank god for the badg . Are you kidding me

TurboTax does not do that because it would be illegal.  You might regard the program looking up offsets to your refund as a convenience but there are several federal crime-fighting agencies that would disagree with you.  No software company can use your personal information such as your Social Security number to go online and search for offsets.

If you are talking about a Tax agency withholding a refund to pay prior taxes owed, the program can only tell you what you owed in a prior year by directing you to your prior year return.  You would indeed have to know whether you already paid it or not.
