A standard deduction is a level amount that applies to all knowledgeable taxpayers, regardless of the number of exceptions claimed on your tax return.

The second is the “itemized standard deduction,” based on certain expenses paid during the year, such as medical costs and mortgage interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-5901","hr-glossary","type-hr-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat is a Standard Deduction?
