I'm no tax expert by any stretch, but based on your income, CTC and EIC, if you take the standard deduction it will reflect that you should've paid close to zero in Fed taxes; definitely less than you obviously paid. Just more of that crazy tax math...lol. Did you earn more the previous year? Did you receive the CTC, EIC and take the standard deduction LY? Sometimes it helps to look at the years closely, side by side.
