Why does my refund say that is was all put to another debt

TurboTax does not receive feedback from the IRS regarding money that was offset from your refund.  If you owed back taxes, child support, student loan debt, etc. you will receive a letter of explanation from the IRS in several weeks.  The WMR site will contain a message regarding your offset.

You must have a federal offset which took all of your refund.

You can get information on federal tax offsets, including a number to call for information in this IRS help topic:
