You could also add either $1,550 or $1,950 if you are blind.
That would mean that, to have a standard deduction of $33,850 for your 2024 tax return, you must be married filing jointly, both spouses must be over age 65, and one spouse must be blind.
If those facts are true and you are not seeing the correct amount in Turbotax, go back to the personal interview and make sure you have correctly entered your birthdates and checked the box for "blind" for the correct spouse.
