TurboTax has no information about your back child support or whether there is an order in place to seize your refund to pay that child support.  You can check here:

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 the IRS offsets your refund for the child support you owe, then you will receive a letter of explanation from the IRS.
