<prompt> Human: I realize that I put most of the info in the title. Basically, I filed several W-2s and a 1099-MISC through TurboTax and it came out to something in the area of 4,500 for my annual income and yet Im still not getting a return and getting charged 123 by the IRS. Did I file wrong? Cause it seems ridiculous that 4,500 isnt below the poverty line. Also, I understand absolutely nothing of taxes. This is only my third time filing and my first time doing it without help so Im worried I did something wrong.  <response>: Being below the poverty line doesnt mean anything in regards to taxes. Did you have anything withheld on your W2? What you owe is likely the 15 FICA taxes on your 1099 income.
