How much is the standard deduction on a person's 1040 federal tax form?
The standard deduction is a dollar amount that reduces the amount of income subject to tax. You cannot take the standard deduction if you are claiming itemized deductions. The amount of standard deduction is based on a taxpayer's filing status. The standard deduction amount can change from year to year depending upon inflation.
