i'm going to echo phil and say that you should add more information. that being said, i think it is possible for you to owe the government that much. if you received a federal health insurance subsidy and live in a state that didn't expand medicaid, you could have received a subsidy through out the year that you did not end up qualifying for. it appears you are outside the medicaid limit of 133% of the poverty level($11,670) or $15,521. if you received a subsidy of $275 a month from the marketplace, you would have received $3300 worth of aid from the government that you don't qualify for. now they are expecting you to pay it back.
