Provide some details.    You do know that there are seven different tax tables that can be used to calculate your tax, right---depending on the type of income entered?   It is not all just from one tax table.

Yes TurboTax software is making a mistake, but I don't know how to fix it.

My federal income amount is 9100,but TurboTax stated that I owe 1330. The federal income tax bracket I'm in, is for 10%... 10% of 9100 is not 1330

Is the tax on line 16 1330?  Or is that your tax due?  You have the Desktop program.  Look at the 1040.  You have the Home & Business program which is for self employment.  Do you also have self employment tax?   You might also owe a penalty for taking an early IRA distribution.  Or some other tax or penalty.  Which lines don't you understand?
