asked

My 19-year-old daughter, who is a dependent on my taxes, earned $11,000 in 2020 and received $7,600 in unemployment benefits. TurboTax indicates she owes $870 in federal tax and $2,250 in Maryland tax, which seems high. Why is her unemployment income being taxed at my rate rather than at her income level, and is this correct?
