TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refunds for back taxes, child support, etc.

 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.

Will all my taxes get taken from a court ordered garnishment

Possibly. It depends on what type of court ordered garnishment for child support, or spousal support.

 

Below are the types of garnishments that can seize your federal refund.

  • Past-due federal tax;
  • State income tax;
  • State unemployment compensation debts;
  • Child support;
  • Spousal support; and
  • Federal nontax debt, like student loans.

If it is for another type of debt, then no.  Your refund will not be garnished.
