Please see the IRS link below, regarding tax topic 201:
Topic No. 201 The Collection Process
There is a phone number you can call, in the link listed above, for assistance.
The IRS will subtract the taxes you owe from your current year refund and then they will deposit any leftover amount to your account (if you selected direct deposit). A few weeks later you will get a letter in the mail confirming how much they took and applied to your back taxes. Keep in mind, whenever there is an offset involved, there is always the potential for a delay.
Otherwise, you should 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.
