She should file a tax return to get a refund of federal taxes that were withheld if applicable. It is possible that you withheld social security and Medicare taxes but not federal income tax, that may explain why she's not getting a refund. Social Security and Medicare taxes are not refundable. There would be an entry in box 2 on her W-2 form if you withheld federal income taxes.
