Last year Turbo Tax did not give the full standard deduction for my age.

Did you enter the correct date of birth for yourself in MY INFO for 2023?  It goes by your age at the end of 2023. Look at your 2023 Form 1040.   What do you see on line 12?

I turned 71 in 2023

The standard deduction line 12 and 14 is 15,700

Then 15, 700 is right for 2023 Standard Deduction.  The Standard Deduction for Single was 13,850 plus 1,850 for over 65 = 15,700.  

 

For 2024 Single is 14,600 + 1,950 = 16,550.
