When they sent out the first stimulus checks in 2020 they could seize the check for child support. When they sent out checks for the 2nd they were not taking them for child support. But if you were getting the stimulus money on your 2020 tax return as a recovery rebate credit and you owe back child support the credit can be used for the child support.

TurboTax never knows when your refund is taken for a debt---you will receive a letter from the IRS. Meantime you can also check to see if there is a an offset here:

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.
