@danilol Yes. She files her OWN tax return to seek a refund. Her tax return has nothing to do with your own tax return. She can use the online Free Edition to prepare a tax return. The amount of federal tax withheld from her pay is in box 2 of her W-2; the amount of state tax withheld is in box 17 (if you are in a state that has state income tax.) She can e-file both federal and state tax returns.
Again it does not matter that she missed the April filing deadline. She can e-file a 2021 tax return anytime before mid-October of 2022. If she waits past October to prepare and file it, she will only be able to file by mail, so the sooner the better---and the sooner she can get her tax refund.
