1099-DIV taxes seems too high

[mehranariani]

I  have received my 1099-Div from my mutual fund. When I enter

box 1a:  $7,116.46

Box 1b: $ 2,115.01

Box 1C: $4,957.32

I owe additional  $2,822 in taxes. The looks like I am owing 40% taxes on my 1099-DIV. I am married filing jointly and zero deductions. Is this correct?

Thanks

There is no Box 1c.  Should that be 2a - Capital Gain Distributions?  Those are short term capital gains from mutual funds.  If that's the case you have $12,073 in dividend/cap gain distributions.  If you paid an addition al $2,822 in tax on that income, that's 23%.  But the additional tax amount may not be accurate.   There are a lot of moving parts to a tax return when it comes to determining the total tax.

Thank you for your answer. You are correct it was box 2a not 2c.
