I had a return of 2700 last year federal and only 726 this year. how come?

There could be a couple of reasons that you are only getting $726 this year.

Back in 2018, the IRS reduced the amount withheld from employee paychecks so people had more take home money. This was done because the IRS did away with the personal exemption and increased the standard deduction. The net affect of this has lowered the amount of refunds realized by the taxpayer.
