After you file

I made $9,400 last year and have $2000 in expenses. Plus my two kids I'm claiming as dependents. Should my return be less then $2,000 ? Something doesn't seem right. Maybe I was expecting more back becuase I didn't make alot. I didn't realize the irs takes so much tax on a 1099. Does this seem accurate to you? I don't want to submit my return if it's not right
