Deductions & credits
Why do you need the Standard Deduction or think you're not getting it? What is it giving you? What is your filing status? If you are Married filing Separate and your spouse itemizes then you must itemize also even if it's less than the Standard Deduction.
If you are a dependent then your Standard Deduction can be less.
The 2024 Standard Deduction for an individual for whom an exemption can be claimed on another person's tax return is limited to the greater of:
…..Your unearned income was more than $1,300 or
…..Your earned income for the year + $450 (but not more than 14,600)
So you would get a minimum of $1,300 to a max of 14,600.
