Why is federal credit so much lower than last year if I've made more this year ?

Which credit are you asking about specifically?  There are a number of credits on a federal return.  We cannot see your screen or your tax return, so please explain which one you think is lower.

Are you asking why your refund is lower this year? 

You probably made more money but you didn't adjust your W-4 form. Depending on what amount of income and which credits you specify on the W-4, the more or less tax will be withheld. Having less taken out will give you bigger paychecks, but a smaller tax refund.

You can use a W-4 Withholding Calculator to help you estimate what you should enter on your W-4.
