10% was WH from UC, the rate should have been about 23% to make this tax pmt zero.  How can this be on such a low salary?

No, for figuring a dependent's Standard Deduction amount, Unemployment Compensation is treated as Unearned Income. 

 

It is not possible, without seeing the return, to answer your question about the tax owed. If a dependent earned 2,000 and also received 5,000 in unemployment with 10% withheld, and that is all of the dependent's income, owing 700 seems excessive.
