STANDARD DEDUCTION
Standard deduction is a method that may be used by taxpayers if the itemized deduction in the taxable income calculation is not used. In this method, the income’s base amount not subject to tax may be used to cut down the adjusted gross income (AGI) of the taxpayer. The standard deduction amount will depend on several factors involving the taxpayer such as filing status, the age, the disabilities, if there are any, the dependency on other taxpayer.
