Why does 2018 Turbotax show me with a 673 refund when I did not have anything withheld?

There are refundable credits. Such as child tax credit and Earned Income Tax credit.

When I started my return, I had a small amount of my income reported and it showed Earned Income credit, which will disappear once I enter the rest of the income (in my case). 

Go to the Forms mode in upper right and look at your tax Forms starting with the 1040 and schedules and that will tell you where the refund is coming from.
