If there is an offset order on record with the IRS and state, yes, your refund will be seized for the back child support.  

 

 refund offset.

 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.

if you owe a debt that is eligible to be recovered by offsetting your tax return, then it can be offset.  Having a new child which increases your tax refund, does not protect the refund from being offset for prior debts.
