<prompt> Human: I made 30,200 in 2017. Why on earth is Turbo Tax saying I owe almost 600 in federal taxes?! I am a social worker and grad student, I do not have 597. Im on the verge of a panic attack. How can this be possible?! Edit: Want to say THANK YOU to you all for helping me figure out where I went wrong. Its much appreciated. Im a self-admitted moron when it comes to these things, and it was really nice to learn something, even though it means I screwed up! For those of you who were rude keep in mind you might come to one of the subs on which I give advice in my area of expertise. I wont ever make you feel like a fool, no matter how dumb your question.
