a standard deduction

Explanation: The $6,300 is the fixed deduction available to single taxpayers that reduces taxable income. It is not an itemized deduction (those are individual expenses you choose to list), not an earned income credit (a tax credit, not a deduction), and not adjusted gross income (AGI is income before taking the standard/itemized deduction).
