In TurboTax, you do not need to input your standard deduction.
If you do not enter itemized deductions or if the total itemized deductions is less than the standard deduction, TurboTax will automatically use the standard deduction.
For tax year 2024, standard deductions are:
- $29,200 for married couples whose filing status is “married filing jointly” and surviving spouses;
- $14,600 for singles and married couples whose filing status is “married filing separately”; and
- $21,900 for taxpayers whose filing status is “head of household.”
The additional standard deduction for a blind taxpayer—i.e. a taxpayer whose vision is less than 20/200— and for a taxpayer who is age 65 or older at the end of the year is for each instance:
- $1,550 for married individuals; and
- $1,950 for singles and heads of household.
