Stub year tax refund

I should be expecting a big tax refund for 2015 if I started in September and have been paying taxes at the 160k bracket while only making a little over 40k, correct? I claimed the same number of exemptions as I did as an SA last year, and I got a $4000 refund for last year.

Should be similar but it depends how your firm handles bar and moving expense taxes. If they leave it up to you to pay those instead of withholding, a large chunk of your refund may go to that.
