For 2021, the standard deduction is: Single or Married filing separately—$12,550. Married filing jointly or Qualifying widow(er)—$25,100.
In 2023 the reporting of the deduction is not 12a it is simply line 12.
Line 12 reads: Standard deduction or itemized deductions (from Schedule A).
For years the standard deductions have ended in zero.
If there is any other digit, there would be a 100% chance it was an Itemized deduction.
If there is a zero, you would have to double check the number.
