it is possible; there is a lot of variables go into taxes and how much is owed. maybe you jumped into a higher tax bracket, thus owing more tax at the end of the year. You may be claiming less excemption on your W-4 so it's only going to hold out .according to that. If you want more back, claim zero and it'll take more out of your check. For w4, the amounts that your employer withholds are based on the information that you supply on your W-4 to them. It is your responsibility to assure that your withholding amounts are in accord with your requirements since your employer has no knowledge of your circumstances; has no advance knowledge of changes that may occur in the tax codes of the state or federal tax systems. You may, if you wish, change your withholding several times a year to meet your modified requirements
