For the 2026 tax year, the standard deduction for a single filer is $13,850. This is the amount of income that is not subject to tax, and it's the easiest way to claim a deduction if you don't have a lot of itemized expenses. Keep in mind that if you have expenses related to your self-employment, such as home office expenses or business use of your car, you may be able to itemize your deductions and claim more than the standard deduction.
