Get your taxes done using TurboTax

He might be right.  Check out IRS pub 501 page 22.   Never heard anyone mention this before.  I would doubt TT would give it to you.  So where would you add the spouse age?  I'll have to check my program.  Would you get the higher deduction if you are under 65 but spouse is older?  Or both?  

 

UPDATE:  Also see the footnote at the bottom of the chart on page 25.
