Since Robin's parents can claim him as a dependent, his standard deduction for 2014 is limited to the greater of $1,000 or his earned income plus $350, up to the regular standard deduction of $6,200 (for unmarried individuals) in that tax year. Therefore, Robin's standard deduction would be $3,550 ($3,200 earned income + $350).
