    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

     

    See Table 8 Standard Deduction worksheet for Dependents on Page 26

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