The IRS kept my refund last year saying I owed a debt but I have no children nor any outstanding debts, I have tried and tried to contact the IRS with no luck?

Go to this IRS website for information on refund offsets and a number to call - https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203

TurboTax has no way to find out if you owe back taxes, child support, etc. that would cause your refund to be seized.  You can check on it yourself:

 refund offset.

 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.

Or.....did you make one of the very common mistakes with the recovery rebate credit or the child tax credit that resulted in your refund being reduced?  That happened to a lot of people.
