Why was it offset?

TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refund. The IRS does not share any information with TT after you file your tax return. If you owed back taxes or child support for which your refund was offset, you will receive a letter from the IRS that explains the offset. It might be couple of weeks until you get the letter.
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.

TurboTax does not receive feedback from the IRS regarding money that was offset from your refund. If you owed back taxes or child support, 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.
