My federal.. I had to pay back in 2016 because i made to much but they are taking it out of my check every two weeks $300. They already took $900 and I owe up to $1200
If you owe back taxes they will take it out of any refunds you get even if you are on a payment plan. Sounds like you might have it paid off now!
They are working on getting their money from my work. But I'm trying to understand why my federal is less then it is. Is it possible that they are take the full amount of what I owe on my federal and still garnishing from my check?
Yes. I don't know how it works. How long it takes to stop garnishing.
Well what I owe was 1200 and right now they already took out 900. I hope the next one would be the last one..
There can be a number of reasons why your refund was less than the amount you expected. First of all, look carefully at your actual tax returns. There is sometimes confusion about the amount of refund to expect when users misinterpret the “summary” they saw in TurboTax. The amount of your refund is on your tax return.
TurboTax does not receive feedback from the IRS regarding money that was offset from your refund. If you owed back taxes, child support, student loan debt, etc. you will receive a letter of explanation from the IRS in several weeks. The WMR site will contain a message regarding your offset. It is also possible that the IRS caught a mistake you made and reduced your refund.
It is also possible that your state reduced your refund for debts owed in your state—if the state reduced your state refund you will receive a letter from the state.

Be aware also that your Federal refund and state refund do NOT come together. Federal and state tax returns are processed by two completely separate entities.
Did you choose to have TT fees deducted from your Federal refund? (Remember that if you did that, you also agreed to an extra refund processing fee of $39.99)
How can I see my TurboTax fees?
