20. Sam and Abby are dependents of their parents, and each has income of $2,100 for the year. Sam's standard deduction for the year is $1,100, and Abby's is $2,450. Because their income is the same, what causes the difference in the amount of the standard deduction?

The difference is because after the deduction from one dependent, then the standard deviation of the other dependent will be the income that was earned plus $350.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Sam and Abby are dependents of their parents, and each has income of $2,100 for the year. We are further told that Sam's standard deduction for the year is $1,100, while the standard deduction for Abby is $2,450.

It should be noted that the income of $2100 attributed to Sam is an unearned income and in such scenario, he's allowed a minimum standard deduction of $1100.

The $2100 that Abby has is an earned income, therefore her standard deduction will be her eabee income plus $350. This will be:

= $2100 + $350

= $2450
