Deductions & credits

So sorry for your unfortunate year, but nothing you described is deductible.  If you had no income with tax withheld then you cannot get a tax refund.   The source of a tax refund is the tax you have withheld from your pay which exceeds your tax liability.   In some cases you can receive refundable credits but nothing you told us about in your post would qualify for a refundable credit of any sort.
