If you owe the IRS from a previous tax year, your refund will be used to offset that debt.  Your 2016 tax return does not show that--TurboTax has no way of knowing that you still owe the IRS.  You do not have to enter anything about the money owed to the IRS on your tax return.  The IRS knows.

My turbo tax knew and told me. So would it factor that in my case?
