TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refund by the IRS or the state. If your refund is seized you will receive a letter from the IRS or state after it happens.

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.
