Yes. Any federal or state refund you are getting can be seized for delinquent child support that you owe. TurboTax will not know about any debts you owe or offsets to your refund. But the IRS knows and will take your refund if there is an offset order in the system. You do not enter anything about that on your tax return.

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.
