Here the computation is for the year 2019,

  1. Ellie is 15 and claimed as a dependent by her parents. She has $800 in dividends income and $1,400 in wages from a part-time job.

Ans: from 2019, as a dependent minor , the maximum standard deduction for a child earning both earned(wages) and unearned(dividend) income plus $350 upto it comes comes to $12200.

Here Ellie has earned = $800+1400= $2200

So the total SD is $2200

  1. Ruby and Woody are married and file a joint tax return. Ruby is age 66, and Woody is 69. Their taxable retirement income is $10,000.

Ans: standard deduction for couple married and filling jointly ,as per 2019, is $24400. Also as both are above the age of 65, they can add up to $2600 into their standard deduction . so the total upper limit to their SD is (24400+2600)= $27000

Here as their taxable income is$10000, the complete amount will be deducted as standard deduction.

  1. Shonda is age 68 and single. She is claimed by her daughter as a dependent. Her earned income is $500, and her interest income is $125.

Ans: for people above the age of 65 and single, they can add upto $1600. Here as Shonda is 68 and single, her limit is $12200+ 1600= $13800

Here she can claim her total income of $625 into deduction

  1. Frazier, age 55, is married but is filing a separate return. His wife itemizes her deductions.

Ans: As fraizer is filling separately, he is not affected by his wife’s deductions. He can claim upto $12200 as is standard deduction.
