You can review your tax return 1040 and schedule 1.
The foreign income exclusion will appear in line 8 d in Schedule !
If you qualify for and claim the foreign earned income exclusion, the foreign housing exclusion, or both,
the tax on your remaining non-excluded income will be calculated using the tax rates that would have applied had you not claimed the exclusion.
The reason for refund going down could be, you had more foreign income than that could be excluded and you will paying higher taxes for the income over the exclusion.
For tax year 2021, the maximum foreign earned income exclusion is the lesser of the foreign income earned or $108,700 per qualifying person.
