*If an individual who can be claimed as a dependent on another's return has earned income, the standard deduction is the greater of $950 or $300 plus the earned income. However, the deduction may not exceed the regular standard deduction for that individual. 

**The old age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI) wage limit. The hospital insurance (HI) portion of FICA (1.45% for employees and employers alike; 2.9% for self-employeds) applies to all wages/income without limit. 

****Higher amounts apply to trucks and vans. 2010 figures are estimated amounts. The IRS has not yet released official numbers.

***Limit will be different for certain employees because of the discrimination rules, % of salary limitations, etc. In addition, the higher of the two limits applies only to those age 50 or older.
