Could be any number of reasons.  Your withholding may have been less. The tax law changed.  Your deductions and credits (such as the Child tax Credit, which ends at age 17),  may be different. 

 

Look at 2019 and 2020 side by side.  Something may stand out.  And check your data entry for any typos.
