Your standard deduction depends on your filing status.

For 2016, standard deductions are:

For a taxpayer under 65, not claimed as a dependent:

  • $6,300 for Single
  • $12,600 for Married Filing Jointly, or Qualifying Widow(er) with dependent child
  • $9,300 for Head of Household
  • $6,300 for Married Filing Separately
  • If you are over 65 or blind, add $1,250 for each instance or add $1,550 each instance if single and not a surviving spouse
