Deductions & credits

The standard deduction for Married Filing Jointly with both people over 65 is $27,800.  If you are both over 65 then double check your date of birth in the personal info section of your return.  TurboTax will automatically increase the standard deduction and put a check mark in the box for you based on your birthdate entered.
