Q.  Do these numbers even sound right? 

A. No. 

 

If  her $3400 of  income was reported on a form 1099-NEC, TurboTax will treat that as self employment and "self employment (social security & medicare)  tax" (SET )  will be due.  But still not $1600.

 

Otherwise, you are correct $3400 of W-2 wages + $5334 of taxable scholarship is not enough (less than $12,550) to generate any  income tax.  You've entered something wrong.  Review form 1040 and schedule 1 to see where it is being reported.  Both wages and taxable scholarship should show up on line 1 of form 1040.
