Since we can't see your tax return, we will have to guess, but there are three situations in which your tax refund can be larger than the amount of federal taxes you withheld:
- Earned Income Credit
- Child Tax Credit
- American Opportunity Credit
Did you have any of these credits? You would see them on your form 1040, lines 18a, 18b, and 18c.
