THE PROBLEM :
1) The IRS Standard deduction chart for 1040SR 2019 / Married filing jointly --- clearly states $ 27000 deduction if BOTH or ONE of the spouses are 65 years or older on or before Jan1 2020.
2) Turbotax form has default value of $ 25,700 on line 9 , which cannot be corrected or changed when I clicked on Amend a filed return.
3) Please note that Amended returns have to be sent by MAIL, do not efile.
If you sent return by efile like I did then you just wasted $24.99 and would have to spend more to send by standard mail.
I see similar recurring problems from previous years . All suggestions appreciated Thank You
