My total income (wages and 1099 interest) is below the minimum filing requirement. Do I need to file a return?
After entering my information, I was surprised to find that I owe money despite earning less than $6000.

Without knowing your whole situation, I can suggest that you should look at your entries again to make sure all the entries were entered correctly. You can access your personalized information in TurboTax, review your entries:
Open or continue your return.
Select Federal in the left menu.
Choose Federal Review.
For more information see the below TurboTax help articles:
If you are someone else's dependent, the filing requirements are different. You will be taxed on interest income in excess of $1,300. Maybe this is your situation.
