A "return" is a filled out tax form, like Form 1040, that you mail to the government.
If you paid too much tax and the government sends you a check back, that is called a "refund."
Whether or not you are a dependent, you are responsible for filing your own tax return. (There is one arcane exception for children whose only income is from dividends that gives the parent the option to include the dividends on the parents' return.) If you exceed the minimum requirements for filing a tax return, you must file your own return. If your tax return shows that you are due a refund, the government will send you that refund.
Even if you do not meet the minimum requirements, you are still allowed to file a tax return. This is the only way to get a refund if taxes were withheld from your pay.
