Thank you for the additional details. I've added the standard deduction information for Married Filing Joint for 2023 for you to review. The concept is the same as if you are single - when you add all the eligible expenses for your itemized deductions together, if the total is more than your standard deduction, you will benefit from itemizing.
2023 Standard Deduction
Married Filing Jointly - $27,700
Married Filing Jointly, one spouse is age 65 or older - $29,200
Married Filing Jointly, both spouses are age 65 or older - $30,700
Add an additional $1500 to the standard deduction for each individual who is also blind.
