A "tax return" is a form like Form 1040 that you have filled out and sent to the government. A "tax refund" is a check that the government sends back to you because you paid too much tax during the year.

If you want to give your tax refund to someone else, take your check to a bank where you have an account or a check-cashing store and cash it and give the money to someone else. You are not allowed to have it direct deposited to someone else's bank account, although the IRS has been criticized for not checking too closely. (Some banks will reject a government payment if the name doesn't match the account.) And most banks will not accept a government check that is double-endorsed (signed over to someone else), but you can ask the other person's bank if they would be willing to do so.

You receive 100% of your tax withholding as a credit as tax paid on the return. If the amount you had withheld from pay, which is under your control, to pay the tax you actually determine due when completeing the return, is more than what is ultimately owed, it is all refunded. If it is too little, you must pay more with the return, and likely penalty and interest too on the underpayment.
