How could my total income be more than my total income before std deduction?

That's unusual.  Please confirm the number:

You can see you tax Return, Form 1040, by following these steps.

You can preview your tax return by going to:

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. On the popup menu
  5. Select View Tax Summary
  6. On the left sidebar
  7. Select Preview my 1040.
  8. Schedules 1,2&3 are included if you scroll down past your 1040.
  9. To return to the entry screens press Back on the sidebar.

Some key numbers on your 1040 tax return are:

Line 11 - Adjusted Gross income

Line 12 - Standard Deduction

Line 13 - Business income deduction

Line 15 - Taxable income.

 

Based on what I think you said, Line 15 is larger than line 11.

 

Line 9 - Total income may be larger than line - 1 Wi2  Wages
