Yes----if you have an offset for a past debt your refund can be seized for it. TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refund. if your refund is offset you will receive letter about it from the IRS after it happens.

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.
