What type of 1099 was this - if this was a Form 1099-MISC for independent contractor work, then you would also be subject to self-employment taxes of roughly ~15% of the net amount in addition to your regular income tax rate. This would likely explain the unexpected result.
Also, you can't really view your taxes based off one input. While your marginal rate may be 33%, adding additional income can affect your eligibility for other tax deductions and credits. So, in addition to the taxes you are paying on the new income, you might be losing other tax benefits, which causes your total tax liability to go up more than your marginal rate. For example, the Child Tax Credit phaseout begins at $110,000 for married filing jointly ($75,000 if single). So, if you added income that took you over this threshold, not only would you be paying the tax, you would also be losing the benefit of the tax credit, which causes higher tax liability.
