Unfortunately, unemployment income is taxable. If you do not think the amount the state reported is correct, you will have to contact them directly. If you cannot afford the taxes, you can ask the IRS for a payment plan and other options. See What if I can't pay my taxes? You can choose to have the state withhold some of your benefits so that you do not have a tax liability at the end of the year.
