You quoted the right publication, but you didn't understand it properly.
If you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer, your standard deduction for 2022 is limited to the
- Greater of $1,150,
- You earned more than $1,150 so that doesn't apply.
- The next consideration is your earned income plus $400.
- I expect that you earned $10,852. That plus $400 is $11,252.
- However, you could get the regular standard deduction, but the total can't be more than the basic standard deduction for your filing status.
- The standard deduction for a single person is $12,950.
- This is larger than the $11,252, so you get a deduction of $11,252.
