Basically, the standard deduction for a dependent is the larger of the following two numbers:
$850, or the dependent’s earned income plus $300, but not to exceed the standard deduction for the dependent’s filing status.
People born before January 2, 1943, and people who are legally blind receive an additional standard deduction. The standard deduction is calculated by adding the person’s standard deduction, plus the additional amount.
Additional amounts are:
$1,300 for single or head of household
$1,050 for married filing jointly, married filing separately, or qualifying widow.
For example, if a husband and wife are both born before January 2, 1943, and are both blind, they would have a standard deduction of $14,900.

Everyone is entitled to reduce their taxable income by tax deductions. Generally I can be chosen between standard deduction or itemized deductions, whichever figure is more advantageous. Together, deductions and personal exemptions reduce adjusted gross income to arrive at taxable income. So these two items reduce taxable income before the regular income tax is computed. Like the various adjustments to income, itemized deductions provide a way to convert taxable income into nontaxable income provided that spent money is for various tax-privileged items.
The standard deduction amounts for 2007 are as follows:
Single: $5,350
Married Filing Jointly: $10,700
Married Filing Separately: $5,350*
Head of Household: $7,850
Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child: $10,700
