I have filed my tax refund but I will not receive any refunds so what’s the purpose of Fileng for taxe return ?

Did you enter any income?

[bryan-123456]

Yes

[xmasbaby0]

Do you owe, or did it just  turn out that you are not getting a refund?

[bryan-123456]

No I don’t owe anything. My mom said because IRS didn’t take anything that I would not have a refund

[xmasbaby0]

Was your income on a W-2?  If you had no tax withheld, your mom is correct.  You do not get a refund if you did not even pay any taxes.

[bryan-123456]

On a w-2. What about sales taxes? If that’s the case then why would I file taxes. It doesn’t make any sense at all

You may not have needed to file at all if the income on your W-2 was low.  If you earned less than $6350 and you filed Single, you filed a return that was not necessary.   Sales tax is part of what is called Itemized deductions.  Itemized deductions don't get you back any amount of refund over and above what you had withheld, meaning if you have no amount withheld on your W-2, you receive no refund.

The point of filing a return is not always to get a refund, it's to show the IRS that you don't OWE any tax.
