If you are a dependent, you have a different standard deduction than non-dependents.

Standard Deduction for Dependents

The standard deduction for an individual who can be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return is generally limited to the greater of:

1. $1,050, or
2. The individual's earned income for the year plus $350 (but not more than the regular standard deduction amount, generally $12,000).
