Debt and tax return

Last year, my federal and state refund was garnished for debt I owed. I did end up with about 160$ of my federal return. I figured if I had more debt they would have taken it all. I know my state refunds will be garnished because of fees, and until today I wasn’t even aware of how much more debt I had. Are they going to garnish my federal tax return for the money I owe in debt this year as well?

TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refund, so we cannot tell you.

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.
