<prompt> Human: My GF let me know she has been claiming 0 her whole adult life and is turning 25 this year. If no one had been claiming her, can you she do anything to get her money back? I feel she got way less then she paid in taxes back as a refund. she should have been claiming at least a 1 - maybe 2.  <response>: The whole purpose of filing a tax return is to get any money back you have overwithheld. I feel she got way less then she paid in taxes back as a refund.Your tax refund isnt a refund of all taxes withheld, just any amount you had withheld that was more than you actually owed in taxes.
