If the IRS or your state seized your refund for a past debt such as taxes owed, child support or student loan debt, you will receive a letter in several weeks.  TurboTax does not receive any information or feedback from the IRS or your state when that happens.  You can check on the IRS refund site to see if it is showing you a message.

 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.
