Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Qualified dividends are taxed at 0%, 15% and 20%.  You are referring to the max 0% category when you reference the $83,350 for a MFJ filer.  Once your qualified dividends exceed that amount, the excess will be taxed at 15%.  So if you have $93,350, then $10,000 would qualify for the 15% tax rate, the base amount would be in the 0% tax rate.  Anything over 517,201 for 2022 would be taxed at the 20% tax bracket for qualified dividends.  

A capital loss can reduce the amount of capital gains tax on your return, but other than a capital loss, there isn't anything else that will lower your capital gains amount on your return.  The standard deduction is no effected.
