We in the Community cannot see your private tax data, but let me make an educated guess.
Is it possible that all your income was from a sole proprietorship (Schedule C)? That is, from a 1099-NEC?
This causes you to have to pay self-employment taxes, which is 15.7% of your Schedule C profit. Since the minimum income tax bracket is 10%, this makes your effective tax rate for the profit from the Schedule C 25.7% minimum.
Also, are you listed as a dependent?
