Can my refund be taken for unpaid court fines?

It depends- the IRS will not withhold your refund for a state court fine, but your state might.

Here is some more information: What is a refund offset? and Topic Number 203 - Reduced Refund

Some states will seize a state refund for unpaid court fines or traffic violations (as well as for child support or back taxes owed). TurboTax will not ever have information regarding offsets to your refund. If the IRS or state offsets your refund, they will mail you a letter a few weeks after they take the refund.
