Did you enter self-employment income and have a net profit? Then you may be eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Do you have any children being claimed as dependents? If so, and you had at least $2,500 of income from self-employment you may be eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit.
You do not need tax payments to get refundable credits as a tax refund.
Look at your tax return, Form 1040, to see how the tax refund was derived on your federal tax return.
