Standard deduction amounts. The amount of your standard deduction depends on the filing status you qualify for. In 2014 for example, single taxpayers and married taxpayers who file separate returns can claim a $6,200 standard deduction.
Tax deductions reduce the total pool of income that is subject to tax. For example, if you made $40,000 last year and you had $5,000 in tax deductions, only $35,000 would be subject to income taxes. According to the IRS, married couples filing joint returns have a standard deduction of $11,900 for 2012 returns. Joint filers will be better off taking the standard deduction unless itemized deductions exceed that amount. Standard Deduction for Separate Filers. Married people sometimes choose to file separate tax returns. The IRS states that the standard deduction for married couples filing separate returns is $5,950 for 2012 returns, which is the same as the deduction for single filers and half that of joint filers. If both partners earn a similar amount of income, there may be little difference between filing joint and separate returns in terms of total taxes owed. Other Tax Deductions. Aside from the standard deduction, marriage can impact a variety of other tax deductions and credits.
