    As it’s coming to the end of the year I was wondering how do I go about getting my tax returns?
    I work full time so I believe I am owed some sort of tax plus I had a lot of dental work done and I believe I’m owed some money from that too.
    How do I go about getting it all back or when do I do it etc? TIA

    Working full time does not mean you are entitled to a refund of tax. Normally unless you've be switching jobs repeatedly during a year or may have been emergency taxed for some reason, the tax you piad should be correct.

    Claiming tax relief on allowable medical/dental expenses should result in a tax refund if you paid tax in the year the expense was incurred.

    Depends on your employment situation.
    Are you employed by a company (ie do you receive a wage, wage slip)? Or are you self employed?

    If you are employed by a company, you should receive a P60 at the end of the tax year (31st December).
    When you receive your P60 from your employer, you need to contact your tax office notifying them of your P60 and your requirement to claim qualifying medical expenses paid by you during the tax year that the P60 applies to.

    Not all medical expenses qualify for tax relief.
    https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/health-and-age/health-expenses/what-are-qualifying-expenses.aspx

    You'll need to have receipts proving that you paid the qualifying medical expenses. If everything is in order the tax authorities will issue you with a credit or a refund to the value of the tax credit due.

    If you are self employed, on your tax return there is a section to claim tax credits for qualifying medical expenses. Again you're required to have documentary proof that you paid these expenses.
