Why do my account say federal refund 1200 where did I get that from

That amount looks like a Recovery Rebate Credit (stimulus payment) which will be shown on your federal tax return Form 1040 on Line 30.  Look at your tax return.

 

You can view your Form 1040 at any time. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

If you're just starting your return and you'd already receive the full $1,200 rebate credit earlier this year then please ignore that in the refund meter. at the end of the interview you'll be asked how much of the stimulus check you already have gotten and when you put in 1200 that $1,200 in the refund meter will disappear.
