State refund partially owed to unemployment, will I still get my money and when?

March 5 my state return was accepted. About a week later I received a later stating I had an overpayment from unemployment of $800 and part of my tax return will cover this. The remainder of my return is around $5k-6k. Will I receive this money? When I track my return online it says still pending, on turbo tax it says approved 03/05 and when I call my information does not pull up my state return at all to track so I am now getting nervous

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund. 

 

The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts.  You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for.   

I would suggest you call the IRS offset line to see if there are other offsets, (800) 304-3107.

 

Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund:
When will I get my federal tax refund?
How do I track my state refund?
Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?Your refund could be offset.
