My year-over-year "deduction analysis" graph shows 24K standard deduction for 2018 (expected), and matches 1040 form (expected). However the amounts shown shows for previous years 2014-2017 do not match the totals I see in the tax forms themselves (the graph shows much higher deductions than what are listed on the 1040 forms). Nowhere in the 1040 forms do I find the dollar amounts listed in the "deduction analysis" graph.
So I don't understand where the historical values in the "deduction analysis" graph are coming from (and I question their value for comparing year-over-year a bit, if they don't represent the value of the deductions filed). Thank you!
