You are seeing your standard deduction. That means that the first $12,400 of your income is not taxable if you are not someone else's dependent. It is not a refund.
Explain Standard Deduction—What is it?

So I don't pay that
Sorry I'm new to trying to do them on my own
No, your standard deduction of $12,400 is deducted from your income. If you look at your physical 1040 Form, you will see that your taxable income is less than your actual income.
Thank you very much
