Is the government stealing from us?

So I got a jump on my tax return this year and I found out that if you add a second w-2 they deduct it from your tax return. This is exactly what happened, i put in my first w-2 and at the end turbotax said my return would be $999 for the federal tax return. Cool that's normal I didn't even make 20,000 last year so that puts me in a super low tax bracket and also I claim 0 on my taxes. Now I double and triple check ALL of my information when doing paperwork and after doing this and submitting my second w-2 my federal tax return dropped to about $120. I thought I had made a mistake so I had turbotax take 29 dollars out of my already small tax return and started getting to work with one of their people to figure out what happened…

I don't fully understand what I'm reading all this stuff is really complicated.

My lady did her taxes and she got the same result and she is really good at paperwork and doing it correctly. I am wondering if anyone out there can help me understand what's going on.
