@Squeek88 That message indicates that you owed back taxes--either to the IRS or to your state. TurboTax never knows about debts you owe like back taxes or child support, so there would be nothing indicated on your tax return about that. But when the IRS processes your return, they have that information in their system.
refund offset.
