Without looking at your return it is impossible to know why.

These are the most common things that effect your refund or balance due:

Change in Filing Status;
Change in dependents claimed;
No longer have a child, under age 17, to claim the Child Tax Credit
The amount of federal and/or state withholding;
Income based credits, such as the Earned Income credit;
Tax bracket changes
