I could not find my exemption deduction of 8100 for my wife and I, both over 65.
There are no personal exemptions on a 2019 Form 1040 nor were there any personal exemptions on a 2018 Form 1040.
If you are age 65 or older then you receive an additional amount added to your Standard Deduction. The Standard Deduction is on the 2019 Form 1040 Line 9
