I claim 0 and single, so why am I getting a small $2 refund and have to owe $80?

Last year I was with the same employer, and I got $191 from my refund and didn't owe anything. But this year my status was still the same but my refund was a measly $2 and I had to owe $80, is something wrong going on here?

No one on Answer Xchange can see your return. There are are lot of variables that affect your refund or tax due including how much you earned, how much tax you had withheld, your filing status, the number of dependents you claim, your deductions and credits, etc. You may have lost Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit. Or do you have a healthcare penalty? The best way to find the difference is to print and compare 2015 and 2016 side by side

And of course, always check your own data entries, looking for errors such as misplaced decimals or extra zeros.
