There could be a number of reasons for your refund to fluctuate from year to year. Here are some common reasons.

Did you work multiple jobs?
Have you changed your withholding?
Was there extra money that you received that did not have enough taxes taken out?
Did you take any money out of a retirement account?
Did you have gambling winnings?
Was your Marital or dependent status changed?
Did you qualify for a credit last year that you didn't get this year?
