Taxable income Gross income less a variety of deductions. Taxable Income In U.S. tax, an individual's income after all deductions. Individuals and corporations may eliminate certain expenses from their incomes for tax purposes. For example, if someone makes $30,000 per year and spends $4,000 on tuition for college, that person's taxable income is reduced to only $26,000, and the person pays a portion of that to the government.
