Question

Is my blended tax rate based on my parents income as a dependent?

was set to get a small refund then it asked for my parent's taxable income and now says I owe a fairly large amount. Why am I being taxed at such a high percentage when my taxable income is only 9,600

if you are subject to "kiddie tax' then yes, you are taxed at your parent's rate.  

 

Is part of that $9600 from other than W-2 wages? does it exceed $2200?
