The mean, or average, of terms in income tax refers to the average amount of tax paid by individuals or businesses. This can be calculated by adding up all the tax amounts paid by different entities and dividing by the total number of entities. The mean can give an indication of the typical tax burden faced by taxpayers in a particular jurisdiction or income bracket.

Mean of Terms in Income Tax
Adjusted gross income (AGI) is the taxable income before certain deductions and exemptions are applied. It is calculated by subtracting certain deductions (e.g., IRA contributions, student loan interest) from gross income.
Taxable income is the amount of income that is subject to taxation after AGI is reduced by deductions and exemptions.
Standard deduction is a fixed amount that taxpayers can deduct from AGI to reduce their taxable income. It is available to all taxpayers, regardless of their filing status.
Itemized deductions are specific expenses that taxpayers can deduct from AGI. These include expenses such as mortgage interest, charitable donations, and state and local taxes.
Itemized deduction threshold is the AGI amount at which itemized deductions begin to phase out for certain itemized deductions, such as medical expenses and casualty losses.
Dependent is a person who meets certain criteria (e.g., age, relationship) and who can be claimed as a deduction on the taxpayer's return.
Exemption is a specific amount that taxpayers can deduct for themselves and their dependents to reduce their taxable income. The personal exemption is no longer available for tax years beginning after 2017.
Tax bracket is a range of taxable income that is subject to a specific tax rate.
Tax rate is the percentage of taxable income that is owed in taxes.
Tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes owed. It is calculated before the standard deduction or personal exemption is applied.
Tax refund is the amount of overpaid taxes that the taxpayer receives after filing their tax return.
Tax liability is the amount of taxes that the taxpayer owes after subtracting tax credits and any other tax payments made during the year.
