This doesn't help. Please give me better information then the generic answer. This company has copied and pasted the same paragraph instead of trying to answer everyone's questions. I asked why the IRS doesnt communicate with turbo tax about taking money? AND why doesnt the IRS mention that they may be with holding taxs returns. This company is supposed to be helping us and be easier than going through the IRS forms.
Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Due federal privacy laws TurboTax cannot legally receive any information from the IRS concerning the status of a taxpayer's tax return.
If the IRS changes your tax return it will be noted on the IRS federal tax refund website. The IRS also mails a letter explaining the changes to the address on the tax return. There is a procedure to dispute the IRS changes included in the letter.

Why is my refund different than the amount on the tax return I filed?
All or part of your refund may have been used (offset) to pay off past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support, or other federal nontax debts, such as student loans. To find out if you may have an offset or if you have questions about an offset, contact the agency to which you owe the debt.
We also may have changed your refund amount because we made changes to your tax return. This may include corrections to any incorrect Recovery Rebate Credit amount. You’ll get a notice explaining the changes. Where’s My Refund? will reflect the reasons for the refund offset when it relates to a change in your tax return.
Tax Topic 203, Refund Offsets for Unpaid Child Support, Certain Federal and State Debts, and Unemplo... has more information about refund offsets.
