What happened to the money I withheld from every paycheck

On my W-4 I withheld money thinking that I was going to get it back at the end of the year what happened to that money?

All of the money that was withheld from your paycheck will be reported on your W-2 that you get from your employer. You may or may not get it back. The tax that you owe based on your income will be subtracted from the tax that you had withheld and if more was withheld than you owe, you get it back as a refund.

Have you entered your income into Federal>Wages & Income yet? Did you enter it from your W-2 yourself?

And you checked to see if the information was really entered on your return? If so, then Jerry2000 has your answer.
