It is almost impossible to answer your question without seeing your tax return.

 

However, this scenario is quite possible if your income is self-employment income and you had no taxes withheld. On self-employed income, you have to pay income tax AND self-employment tax. Self-employment tax alone is 15.3% calculated on 92.35% of self-employed income.
