Seems Impossible to Claim Senior Tax Credit?

I must be missing something.

For a married couple filing jointly, where only one spouse is 65 or more, it is required that:

1. Max Adjusted Income is less than $20,000.

2. There is a Tax liability.

 

What I don't get is how there can be a Tax liability in this case. Just the standard deduction ($26,100) brings the tax liability to $0.
