Standard deduction over 65

  1. When i completed the 2024 tax forms, they gave me a standard deduction of $16,550 as a single over age 65.  But when i went to the IRS website, it stated that if you are single or a surviving spouse over the age of 65, the standard deduction is $19,550.  Am i missing something or did the program not pick up that i should have received a higher standard deduction?
