Unemployment and federal taxes

I have checked the box about federal taxes which my receipt from Pa shows that I paid $534.00 and when I add and click to continue it lower refund from $2855.00 to $2300.00 which mean that I will have paid over $1000.00 taxes on $3732.00 of unemployment. And refund dollar does not never change back to $2855.00 all the way to the file button. This has not happened in the past. The refund number does not change till unemployment is entered so fed tax on W2 must be correct.

Unemployment and federal taxes

When you entered the information from your Form 1099G from PA, showing your unemployment benefits and the tax withholding, are you certain that you entered the tax amount in the correct box? I am concerned that the decrease in your refund is so close to the amount of withholding. It warns me that you are not giving yourself credit for the withholding, and your results are only showing the result of increased income.
