Yes, the IRS can, and will, garnish an income tax refund if money is owed from an audit.
When TurboTax says your refund was approved, it means that the IRS has reviewed your tax return and has agreed to issue you a refund for the amount you are owed. This typically indicates that your tax return has been processed successfully and that you will receive the refund soon.
Probably....and also likely = depending on what the audit is seeing - that they will extend the audit to 2008 - at least for those things they dispute for '07.
TurboTax and the IRS may have different timelines for processing tax refunds. TurboTax's notification that your refund was accepted means they have submitted your return to the IRS successfully.

TurboTax says your refund was accepted because the IRS has reviewed and approved your tax return, confirming the amount of refund you are entitled to receive.

what will happen if i do not show up for a irs audit
If you owe money to the IRS for prior years taxes, and you have a refund due to you on this year's taxes, the IRS will keep the refund and apply it towards the debt that you owe.
Contact the IRS immediately to disclose the error. The government eventually will figure it out and may audit you. Additional charges and penalties may ensue.
The IRS can audit a return up to three years after a return has been filed.
