The US standard deduction is only included in US Tax Estimation mode, and is not considered if you are using a fixed effective tax rate instead.
One reason for this is to support a broader set of use cases than just US-specific ones; e.g., if you were modeling an international scenario using a fixed effective tax rate, you probably wouldn’t want the US standard deduction baked into that.
