I notice that the 1040-SR form that generated after I did my taxes does not reflect the $16,450 standard deduction on Line 12 based on me being over 65.  It only has $14,700 on line 12.  Is this extra $1,750 reflected elsewhere on the form?  I do not see it.  Thank you.

That's right.  

For 2022 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,950 + 1,750 for 65 and over or blind (14,700)

HOH 19,400 + 1,750 for 65 and over or blind (21,150)

Joint 25,900 + 1,400 for each 65 and over or blind (27,300/28,700)

Married filing Separate 12,950 + 1,400 for 65 and over or blind (14,350)

Thanks everyone for the quick reply.  I was looking at the Standard Deduction chart incorrectly I guess.  I appreciate the guidance.  Best, L
