'Standard
deductions' and 'itemized deductions' are alternatives.
A standard deduction is the standard amount you
may deduct from your adjusted gross income (AGI)
to calculate taxable income. The amount depends
on your tax filing status.
The
IRS recommends deductions should be itemized when
the total itemized amount exceeds the standard
deduction for a given tax filing status. Itemized
deductions begin to be lost when adjusted gross
income reaches a certain amount.
For
2010, a standard deduction is available in the
following amounts: US$11,400 for married persons
filing jointly; US$5,700 for married persons filing
separately; US$8,400 in 2010 for heads of households;
and US$5,700 for single taxpayers. Taxpayers are
also allowed to take personal exemptions of US$3,650
per person in 2010. The Dependant's Standard Deduction
is to be no more than the greater of $900 or $300
plus the individual's earned income.
An exemption is the amount a taxpayer can deduct
from his or her adjusted gross income to calculate
taxable income.The exemption phases out at higher
incomes.
