Receiving a Federal Refund on the sale of a stock?

I inherited a stock (8/6/14) which sold prior to the close of the estate (9/9/16).
Although Federal did withhold on this sale, my refund is larger than the withholding.
I can't find anything saying I am entitled to a refund on the sale of a stock.
Only that a sale will impose a tax.

My question is~Why am I receiving a Federal Refund?
