You will file a return. You will not get a refund (which is a refund of your overpayment) if you owe more than you have paid in through withholding and such - which is waht your payment is for - to make up for what you should have pre-paid. Depending on the amount of the underpayment and other factors, it is possible you will also owe a penalty and interest on that underpayment.

Refund
What type of refund are you looking for. If you or the person bought an item that you no longer need or is broken you can get a refund that way, within reason of course. You cant and shouldn't look for a refund from any used medical items or gifts that were given to this person. If your talking about having paid for someone's funeral and you were not given the items that you paid for or the service was poor and you can prove it, then you may be entitled to a refund but have your info ready. Other than that I don't know what refund you are seeking.

A tax refund or tax rebate is a refund on taxes. When your tax liability (the amount of tax you owe) is less than the amount of taxes paid or taken out of your paycheck, the IRS will give you a tax refund once your return is filed.
