You can contact the agency with which you have a debt to determine if your debt was submitted for a tax refund offset or you may call BFS's TOP call center at (800) 304-3107. You can enter your SSN in the automated system and it will tell you if you have an offset outstanding for your SSN. If your debt was submitted for offset, BFS will reduce your refund as needed to pay off the debt and send it to the agency you owe. Any portion of your remaining refund after offset is issued in a check or direct deposited as originally requested on the return. 

You'll get an explanatory letter from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service if your refund is offset.

To see back taxes owed 

https://www.irs.gov/uac/view-your-tax-account

 

 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.
