The IRS withholds refunds for non-payment of the following:
Past-due child support;
Federal agency non-tax debts;
State income tax obligations; or
Certain unemployment compensation debts owed to a state (Generally, these are debts for (1) compensation paid due to fraud, or (2) contributions owing to a state fund that were not paid).
Unless the fine is owed through the Federal court system, most likely your refund will not be affected. Follow this link to an IRS website for the phone number to call and inquire about garnishment of your refund:
