How am I not getting a refund when my income amount wasn't asked?

You mean you did not enter any income?  Well, if you did not enter any income it is no wonder you cannot see a refund.  You have to enter some income.  Federal > Wages and Income  

You are posting from Self-Employed----did you receive a 1099Misc or get paid in cash?

I usually get cash as its not a full time thing. I do odd jobs and do not work a full time job. And now as I said I am self employed and made 12500 they say I owe the irs 14000+. I have no idea how this can be possible

@gabydaddy First of all, you have a problem with decimal points.  You need to watch where you put them.

If you were self-employed then you owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.   It is hard to ell how much you really made since you have misplaced decimal points in your post.
