If your refund is always taken then make sure you don't have a refund if possible. Under withhold so any credits you get pays the tax bill. Unfortunately that is all you can do ... if the credits are more than your taxes owed the excess will always be taken.

And.....TurboTax never knows about offsets to your refund for child support, back taxes, 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.
