Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To follow-up on the comments from @JamesG1 and @Leonard Smith, while your unemployment compensation received in 2021 is taxable income, that amount plus your W-2 wage should not result in any tax due if their combined amount is less than your standard deduction.  Can anyone claim you as a dependent on their return? If yes, that might explain why you are seeing a tax due amount.  

 

If you are using TurboTax online, go back to the My Info section, and in the Personal info summary, click edit across from your name.  The page that follows will contain a question whether someone can claim you as their dependent.  Check your answer.
