They can if they are notified.  It does not matter how you get your refund, they can take it.  If you have certain types of unpaid debts—such as federal or state taxes, child or spousal support, a student loan that's in default, or unemployment compensation to which you were not entitled—the U.S. Treasury can hold back all or part of your income tax refund to help pay the amount that you owe.
