After you file

TurboTax has no involvement whatsoever with your offset refund that was seized for child support.  This is a matter for you to sort out with the IRS and the agency that enforces the child support order.   TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.  No one at TurboTax knows that the refund was offset and cannot find out anything about it.   Sorry.

 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.

TurboTax does not receive feedback from the IRS regarding money that was offset from your refund.  If you owed back taxes or child support, you will receive a letter of explanation from the IRS in several weeks.  The WMR site will contain a message regarding your offset.  It is also possible that the IRS caught a mistake you made and reduced your refund.
