If you still owe back taxes, then your 2018 refund will be used to pay those taxes, even if you are on a payment plan. if there is anything left after the whole tax debt it paid you will receive the remaining refund.

To see back taxes owed

https://www.irs.gov/uac/view-your-tax-account

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.
