Changes to the 2019 Standard Deduction
The standard deduction is the amount that you can deduct from your income before calculating your tax liability
 if you do not itemize your deductions.
Previous law: The standard deduction for married filing jointly is 24,000 for tax year 2018; 12,000
for single taxpayers; and 18,000 for heads of households, 24,000 for qualifying widow(er)s according to the IRS. New law: The standard deduction for married filing jointly would increase to $24,400 for joint filers; 12,200 for single taxpayers; and 18,350 for heads of households, according to the TPC analysis. The increased deduction ends after 2025.

Personal Exemptions

A personal exemption is the amount that you can deduct from your income for every taxpayer
and most dependents claimed on your return.

Previous law: $4,050 per person, which means a married couple with two dependents would receive a personal exemption of $16,200. New law: The personal exemption is eliminated. The exemption returns after 2025.

Child Tax Credit

Previous law: Married couples filing jointly who earn less than $110,000 can receive a tax credit of up to $1,000 for each child under 17 years old that they can claim as dependents on their tax returns ($55,000 is the threshold for married couples filing separately; $75,000 for single, head of household, and qualifying widow or widower filers). New law: The credit would increase up to $2,000 per child, and the first $1,400 would be refundable according to the TPC analysis, meaning the credit could reduce your tax liability below zero and you would still be able to receive tax refund.. The cut off foe the tax credit would increase from $110,000 to $400,000 for married couples filing jointly. The expanded credit ends after 2025.
