I owe back taxes.  But it is currently held up in court (9th district appeals court) ... meaning still awaiting trial date.

 

I will be filing taxes (tax year 2024) and I will have refund coming back to me. 

 

Will IRS keep my refund even though it's still in the courts?

    First---TurboTax never knows about back taxes you owe or possible offsets to your refund for those taxes.   And you have an upcoming court case.   We cannot tell you what will happen with your 2024 refund.

     

      You can check to see what is shown with the IRS Treasury Offset Program.
