I'm not great with Taxes as until very recently I made very little money, but you seem to be paying a VERY high amount for making so little.
I know as an independent contractor you get screwed a lot (quarterly taxes suck) but still, you shouldn't be paying that much on an income of 16,000. You might want to see a accountant if you haven't already, as you should be in the 'zero' tax area. Again I don't know much and perhaps its because you are independent that you get screwed.
I do know that even when I was in school making 8k a year and my wife 30k before taxes, we got the $600 back from the first Bush tax cut.
