That's good.  Your withholding covered the tax on your income.  You should come out close to zero.  You got more in your pay checks all year.  You shouldn't let the government hold your money all year without paying you interest.  Don't think of the IRS as a savings account.  It's better than having a tax due and owing more.

I looked up the tax table.  Your income of $31,922 minus the Standard Deduction 13,850 gives you a taxable income of 18,072.  Tax on 18,072 is 1949.00.  Same as your withholding .   You must have got a $15 Earned Income Credit.
