A few things to consider while you are doing your review:

How much money did you & your spouse make last year vs this year?
How much tax was withheld from your income this year vs last year?
Did you have income from a business or a 1099-MISC that could have increased your taxable income?
Did you have any itemized deductions last year you could claim, that you couldn't claim this year?
Did you lose any tax credits this year due to the age of your child, your income limits, etc?

You can also review the return before filing to see if anything stands out from last year as well. Please see these instructions for reviewing your return: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302322
