Why is my federal refund so low? It's $16 when in the past it's been a lot more.

we can't see your return. there can be many reasons.  you should compare your 2020 return to your 2021 (probably have to pay fees first) to identify differences and determine if they're correct.

Need more info.  Did your income, FWT and deductions say the same as the previous year?
