No, a dependent isn't entitled to any portion of your tax refund. The refund legally belongs to the taxpayer who filed the return assuming all IRS rules were met.

Are you the dependent? Are you asking if you are entitled to part of someone else's refund because they claimed you? If that is your question---the answer is no.
