Wit...How old are you? A student? $22,000 is pretty high for a summer job.

On your return, with taxable income over $12,000, you will have the full standard deduction of $12,000 for single filer.

From IRS Topic 551: Standard Deduction:

Dependents - If you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer, your standard deduction for 2018 is limited to the greater of: (1) $1,050, or (2) your earned income plus $350 (but the total can't be more than the basic standard deduction for your filing status).
