As a virtual assistant language model, I cannot act as a lawyer nor provide legal advice. However, in general, tax refunds are typically given to individuals who have overpaid taxes or have had too much withheld from their paycheck throughout the year. If an individual did not work and did not have any taxable income, they are generally not eligible for a tax refund. It's recommended to consult with a licensed tax professional or accountant for specific guidance based on your unique circumstances.
