Why is my tax $0 on line 44 when I have taxable income of $15,466 on 1040 line 43?

Did you report qualified dividends or capital gains on your tax return?

Your taxes on the taxable income is calculated using the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains worksheet and not the IRS tax tables.
See this IRS QDCG worksheet - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2017.pdf#page=44
