> No-one should be taxed on income anywhere near that level.
Don’t misunderstand me. I completely agree with this and would prefer having the standard deduction even higher with higher taxes above it to compensate.
> Federal minimum wage is $15,080.
I know which is why I said “close to”. This also with the assumption that it’s always 40 hours a week and you never get sick or need time off (which would assuredly be unpaid).
Even working 36 hours per week, every week, at minimum wage (which is considered a full time job), would put you under the standard deduction.
