I’m currently unemployed but have to file taxes because I have a W2-G for my casino win. (At the time I had the taxes taken out of my win) I also have a form 1099-NEC I received from completing a certificate program in my community. Both of these incomes I earned from my personal reservation that I’m an enrolled tribal member. This means that I should be able to fill out 2024 Schedule OR- EIS for exempt income. Upon filling this out I should receive back my taxed casino winnings ($300) and not have to pay the taxes associated from my 1099-NEC right? (The money was never taken out of my check associated with my 1099-NEC) Upon completing my taxes it says I owe a federal amount of $53 though? I would expect to just be given money back not owe anything! So what is going wrong? Is it the 1099 that is messing things up? Am I supposed to file it another way?? I need help please!
