Income reported in box 7 on a 2019 form 1099-MISC is normally considered self-employment income. As such, it is subject to a self-employment tax of about 15%, which is in addition to your normal income tax. That may be why your tax increased so much when you answered questions regarding the income reported on the form.
You may also be counting the income twice, however, so you need to check on that by reviewing your form 1040 entries as follows:
1. Find the "Tax Tools" option on your left menu bar and click on it
2. Click on "Tools"
3. Click on "View Tax Summary"
4. On the left menu bar see the option "Preview my 1040" and click on it to view form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3
If your form 1099-MISC income is reported as "other income" it would show up on line 8 of schedule 1. If it is being reported as self-employment income, it will show on line 3 of schedule 1. So, you need to see if you have entries on both those lines, if so you probably doubled up the income.
