I have filed this way for at least 6 years and I have always had Federal taxes took from my income that has ranged from 30-45,000. I was surprised to see this wasn’t deducted “like usual” but everything else was taken out ssi, retirement, etc. I’m going keep my filing static the way it’s suppose to be. Like you said, with the changes that was made for that particular year, Everything should have adjusted accordingly. Being my yearly income fell in a different tax bracket then what it has been, therefore no federal taxes where took out… correct?!
More tax taken out will mean more refund, in your situation. 2021 is also a little messed up because of the temporary increase in the child tax credit. Your W-4 should be self-adjusting and you should have tax taken out when your income is high enough to require it.
You can use the IRS calculator to double check. It's out of service to be updated for 2022, but when it is available, you answer questions about your family and your income, using your most recent pay stub, and the calculator will give you a pretty good report on your expected taxes and refund.

If you get a new job or your income changes, you can re-check the calculator to see if you are still on track.
