Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Unemployment is part of your total income, as @DanP0428 says in a most excellent response. 

 

Many people are taxed at a much higher rate than 10% so the amount withheld is often not enough to cover the whole tax when unemployment is added into your other income.

 

For example, the 12% bracket (after deductions) starts at $9,951 for single filers and $19,901 for married.
