After you file
@ssunshine007 Sorry----we cannot tell you if you will receive an income tax refund. That has already been explained to you. Income tax refunds are based on paying more tax than you owe. If you did not pay any income tax by having tax withheld from paychecks in 2020 then you should not expect a 2020tax refund when you file a 2020 return in 2021--since there will nothing from which to issue a refund. You have a LOT of other posts, and have mentioned driving for Lyft. If you were doing that then you were not having tax withheld. You are very unlikely to receive an income tax refund for 2020, unless, as I mentioned in an earlier post, you get a small amount of child-related credit if you have a dependent child or children.
TurboTax cannot help with the problem you are having with your "friend" who you believe stole money from you. If you have reason to believe there was any fraud involving your income tax return or your Social Security number, report the identity theft to the IRS:

If your Social Security number is compromised and you know or suspect you are a victim of tax-related identity theft, take these additional steps:
- Respond immediately to any IRS notice; call the number provided.
- Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. Then print and mail or fax according to the instructions.
- Continue to pay your taxes and file your tax return, even if you must do so by paper.
