Can anyone tell me why I'm being taxed 8 percent for my state tax when I'm a full-time student making less than 6K a year and a dependent of my parents?

its an IL state tax, second-year full-time student, being tagged for 8% when the state income tax is 4.98 percent

Are you a dependent?  Are you being assessed any interest and/or penalties?  Look at the actual tax form.

2020 Form IL-1040 Individual Income Tax Return (illinois.gov)

yes, I am a dependent of my parents, and I don't believe I have been penalized. also, where do I get the income tax form with all my info. cause all the ones I see are for at least 2019.
