I'm using Home and Business edition.  I did my daughter's simple return.  She is a full time student but worked part time.  She had two W-2 and a 1099-G (State Refund).   Somehow Turbo Tax Standard Deduction value is $9,094.   I don't know where that amount is coming or why it's coming out with that amount for Standard Deduction.  Shouldn't be $1200.00.   I did not enter any deductions of any kind for her. 

 

Your assistance is appreciated.

Dependents – If you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer, your standard deduction for 2019 is limited to the greater of: (1) $1,100, or (2) your earned income plus $350 (but the total can't be more than the basic standard deduction for your filing status).
