After you file

If you were not eligible for any other deductions or credits and are single, you would have taxable income of around $13,000. The first $10,275 would be taxed at 10%. The next $3,000 would be taxed at 12% which would be about $360. So you would add $1,027.50 to $360, which is close to $1,400.

 

Did you not have any taxes withheld from your wages?  If not, this is why you would owe $1,400. If you did have taxes withheld, you need to go back into your W-2 section and correct your entries. 

 

If your employer is not withholding enough taxes, you may want to complete a new W4 form for them.
