So this year for my return I'm supposed to be getting a much much smaller amount than last year, I don't know if I did something wrong or not.

If your refund isn’t as large as you expected, there are a lot of reasons that could be the case:

Sorry, didn't get a notification that this but replied to. Ok, so I can see where tax withholding can effect me, but I've had it the same as last year and there's a pretty drastic different between my two years.
