there are so many possibilities I would say to review all your entries. then look at the return and see what on what line the tax appears. many time a form will be indicated.  tell us what you found and we may be able to help.  your other choice is to contact support.

Even if your taxable income is 0, you may still end up having to pay tax for other reasons.

 

If you have a net self-employment income greater than $400, you have to pay Self employment tax even if you claim enough tax deductions on your 1040 to wipe out your earnings.

Also, if you earn tips as a regular part of your job, your employer takes out withholding when you report your tips for the month, but for tips under $20 that are not reported to the employer, you report it at the end of the year and pay in extra tax.
