Standard Tax Deductions

by John Smith Learner

Withholding tax is an amount deducted from an individual's gross income to reduce taxable income. The basic standard deduction over 65 depends on a person's tax return status. The taxpayer does not have to pay income tax on the expenses, which is called a tax deduction. Expenses such as legal fees, medical expenses, donations and investments are sometimes listed as tax deductible expenses. While investment taxes are deductible, brokerage fees and commissions are not. In addition to the basic standard deduction, additional tax credits may be offered based on circumstances such as age and blindness.

The tax credit is intended to encourage positive initiatives such as charitable spending, entrepreneurship, home ownership, education and environmental protection. However, these deductions can sometimes be used to avoid paying taxes. There are cases where rich and large corporations manipulate the discount structure to their advantage. They often avoid paying large amounts of tax by anticipating that they will use their operating expenses for tax-exempt purposes. Corporations generally enjoy a wide range of tax deductions. Since only their income is taxed, corporations separate their expenses from their income in accounts. Expenses that are proven to be solely for business purposes are then treated as a tax deduction.

The growing number of tax deductions and adjustments in the United States has created a lot of complexity over the years. This has created a demand for simplification of the tax structure. All deductions allowed by the federal government are also provided by state governments. These state governments in turn impose additional tax deductible expenses based on their individual tax structures. Although tax cuts are implemented to promote social services and investment, they do not apply to every citizen. A person who earns more than $130,000 a year cannot take the deduction.
