The IRS doesn’t provide any projections for how long an offset will delay returns, but it's typically not a lengthy delay.
You can verify whether your refund will "offset" any child support debt by calling the Bureau of the Fiscal Service's Treasury Offset Program.
You'll find the number in the IRS' Topic Number 203 - Reduced Refund.
If this is putting you into financial hardship, please see this link:Taxpayer Advocate Service
Continue to monitor your refund on the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.
