Your refund seems a little high for the stated income and one child.
The earned income credit for one child with $13,000 of earned income is around $3,600. The refundable portion of the Child Tax Credit would be $1,400. Total credits would be around $5000.
The extra refund is coming from the Recovery Rebate Credit (Stimulus Payment) You must make sure to complete 1040 Worksheet 8 to account for the stimulus payments you received last year.
If you did not receive a stimulus payment last year then the refund amount you stated would be accurate. If you did receive the payments, the amount of the refund will decrease once you account for the payments you received.
