If your tax situation changed in any way, meaning you made more money, you changed jobs or had less withheld your refund can increase or decrease from year to year or even turn into a tax due. If you live in a state with deductions and those deductions changed, then a child turning 13 or 17 could change that as well depending on the state. It could even be that you lived in a state that had a change in tax law and credits you were eligible for.
You can go through and compare last years return with this years number to see what changed. If something changed that should not have changed, go back to your W2 and make sure your numbers are correct. If they are correct, then walk back through your state questions.
