There are many reasons why your refund could be less than what you expected, such as:

Having a child turn 17 in 2023, now receiving the Credit for Other Dependents instead of the Child Tax Credit.
You didn't qualify for the Earned Income credit.
Received unemployment benefits, but didn't have any taxes withheld.
Adjusting your withholding to maximize your take-home pay.
