Look at your 2019 federal tax return Form 1040 Line 9. If you received the Standard Deduction based on your 2019 filing status it will show one of these amounts -
Standard deductions for 2019
- Single - $12,200 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
- Married Filing Separately - $12,200 add $1,300 if age 65 or older
- Married Filing Jointly - $24,400 add $1,300 for each spouse age 65 or older
- Head of Household - $18,350 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
