why is turbo tax telling me i owe federal tax money when I made 600 last year

[larrytbull]

Using turbo tax this year, I was unemployed entirety of the year with on 2 sets of income, dividends for 600 where tax was paid, and another 480 for social media income on a 1099-misc

I have a mortgage property taxes and a dependant child, and some charitable donations , yet TT deluxe is saying I owe $566 in federal taxes.. something doesn't add up, can someone please explain

I suggest you look at your tax return (Form 1040) and check some critical entries.

From the left sidebar

1. Select Tax tools
2. Hint: You may have to minimize the Federal and State selections
3. Click Tools
4. A Menu will pop up
5. Select View tax summary
6. On the left panel click Preview my 1040

Some Key numbers to compare:

• 11 Adjusted Gross Income
• 12 Deductions
• 15 Taxable income
• 16 Tax
• 19 Child Tax Credit
• 26 Earned Income Tax Credit
• 28 Additional Child Tax Credit
• 33 Total Payments
• 34 Overpayment
• 35a Refund
• 37 Amount you owe

Did the $600 come from self-employment? If so and since it's over $400 you owe self-employment tax which would be computed on form SE
