Are you doing this on paper or are you using TurboTax? It sounds like paper?
The amount on line 15 would be $0. If your income is less than the standard deduction, the number that is entered on line 15 is just $0 as you cannot have negative income. Why are you filing your 2023 return if you have no taxable income?
No, if your taxable income is $1,809 you would not owe $1,809. You would be in the 10% tax bracket for that income
You may want to use TurboTax to do the entries and the calculations even for 2024 to ensure you are entering the correct numbers on the correct line.
