Your question is not clear, but it sounds like you are saying you had an existing outstanding tax debt to the IRS. If that is the case, yes, they will take their money before giving you yours.

Turbo Tax has no way to know how much you owe or how much the IRS will take to pay that debt so they cannot tell you.
