My friend makes the exact same amount of money as me has no kids and claims zero just like me he got back 1800$ and I got 160$ this doesn’t seem right at all

Something is different.   Your friend might be having more tax withheld from his paychecks than you are.  The only way to tell would be to print out both of your tax returns, lay them side by side and compare them line by line.

Without seeing both tax returns side by side, there is no way to know.  You may be incorrect in your assumption that everything is the same.

Even if everything really is the same, your refund is the result of an overpayment, usually due to withholding.  If you had less money withheld from your pay, then you got more each week and a smaller refund.  Your friend might have had more withheld, so they got less each week and then a bigger refund.
