Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

The Married filing joint figure is...just 2x the single one.
But to your question, no. A deduction just reduces the value you are taxed on. That's different from a fully refundable credit, which you get back the value of whether your earnings are above it or not. There are also nonrefundable credits which are not much different from a deduction, only bring you to 0, not negative tax owed.
