That would be correct for a married couple with one person 65 or older or blind at the end of 2025.
The standard deduction for Married Filing Jointly is $31,500. If you are over 65, you would add $1,600 per person. If only one of you were 65 or older at the end of 2025, then your standard deduction would be $33,100 ($31,500 + $1,600) If you look at the side of form 1040, you will see the $31,500 for married filing jointly.
If you want to take the standard deduction, you should not check the box to select itemized deductions.
