What is the best definition of taxable income

For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income is the portion of a taxpayer's gross income on which his regular income tax liability (before payments and credits) for the year is based. Income from any given source is taxable, unless the Code specifically says it isn't taxable.

Calculation:

Taxable income starts with gross income, which according to the US Internal Revenue Code, is all income from whatever source derived. Gross income is then reduced by certain adjustments allowed by the IRS (e.g. for student loan interest, alimony paid, and 10 or so other specific items) to get adjusted gross income. Adjusted gross income is then reduced by exemptions (both personal and for any dependents) and itemized deductions (or the standard deduction) to arrive at taxable income.
