If you are paying less than 100% of your debt to creditors, then you were required to at least give a portion of the refund to the BK Trustee (since it is considered income). The fact you made plan payments is irrelevant. If you had some unforseen expense come up- it would have been better to discuss this ahead of time with the Trustee. Your lawyer SHOULD have made you aware of this possibility. If you have no lawyer, you will still be held responsible for following BK law/procedures. So now it is up to the Trustee, either he will overlook this if you make higher payments (to make up for the tax refund money the Trustee did not receive) or he can ask the court to dismiss you BK (the court doesnt automatically dismiss a case, a party has to file a motion with the court). If your BK is dismissed, you will NOT be given a refund/credit for any plan payments made.

What happens if car is totaled in chapter 13 but no claim was filed for the car?

A car is not totaled in a chapter 13. A car may be totaled while the owner is in a chapter 13. If the car was fully exempted, nothing happens. If you need to buy a new car, you will have to get permission from the bankruptcy court after you file a specific purchase agreement (car loan) which should not seriously affect your plan payments. Why are you not asking your lawyer?
