The standard deduction is a fixed amount based on your filing status, age and/or being blind.
Married Filing Jointly - $24,800 add $1,300 for each spouse age 65 or older and/or being blind
So the Standard Deduction for MFJ with both over age 65 would be $27,400 and if both also blind $30,000
Check your tax return to see if you have a Schedule A with itemized deductions totaling $30,594
