Deductions & credits

If you owe delinquent child support the IRS and/or state can seize your refund up to the amount that you still owe, even if you are on a payment plan.  TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refund for child support; there is no place to enter anything about that on your tax return.

 

When/if the refund is seized for child support the IRS or state will send you a letter explaining the offset.
