@tatvbug23 You have posted to an old thread that has not had recent activity----the last time anyone posted was months ago. There are no other posts in the user forum under your username tatvbug23. You have provided no details about your own situation, but it sounds like your refund was seized by the IRS. The IRS can take your refund if you owe back taxes or child support. The refund does not belong to your dependent.

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.
