This happened to me too. First, apparently putting in 1 gal of gas was not enough; it required at least 5 gallons. But since my mechanic was checking anyway, they discovered a fuel leak (I confirmed) so that had to be replaced and that was a YIKES moment on my checkbook. As much as I love Volvos, this one has been a nightmare and will probably be my last.
Any noise when you turn the key?
check your fuse box under the hood and inside the car.
if its all good, check ignition (alarm)?
So it wont crank or it wont start?
If it wont crank:
Check and see that all of your fuses are still good. Be sure to also check the fuse box under the hood.
If it wont start:
There is a test port on the fuel rail. Turn the key to the on position and then push the button inside the test port (like a tire valve) and see if fuel comes out.
If there is no fuel in the fuel rail, then you have an issue with your fuel pump/filter ect. This is very common after running out of gas.
Car
not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can
be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it
can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or
no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition
coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.
To
confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Did you put more gas in it? Will the engine crank at all, if not, what sound does it make?
