Why do I get 16 dollars I’m return

Did you previously receive a 2019 Federal tax refund?    If so, this may be an interest payment.  You may get a Form 1099-INT in January 2021, and will need to report the $16 in interest on next year's tax return.  See this article at the IRS website:

One possibility. the IRS is paying interest on 2019 refunds on returns filed by July 15, 2020, from April 15, 2020, until the date of the refund. Interest payments may be received separately from the refund.
