After you file

If you did not have any tax withheld from your wages--you say you claimed "exempt" (which was a big mistake)--then there is nothing from which to give you a refund. You only get a refund if the taxes withheld are more than the tax you owed to the iRS.  Does box 2 of your W-2 have a zero or is it blank?  If you have a tax liability then you will owe the IRS and will need to pay by check, money order or credit card.

Going forward, do not claim to be exempt.  There could be a penalty for saying that if it is not true.
