Why does my standard deduction show as $1300

[DoninGA]

Are you being claimed as a dependent?  If so your Standard Deduction is your taxable income if less than $14,600.

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

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:

…..$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
