After you file

You have not said who the creditor is----but YOUR creditor cannot seize the refunds of your dependents---only yours.   Perhaps you need to clarify for us whether the 20 year old twins were also full-time students---we cannot be sure whether you could have claimed them as dependents if they had more than $4300 in income for 2020.

 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.
