Minnesota standard deduction for married seniors over 65 filing jointly in 2025

TurboTax has entered our Minnesota standard deduction for 2025 as $33,000.  This is the information I have found online about the amount for the Minnesota standard deduction.

2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600)

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600)

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)

Based on the above information, the proper amount appears to be $31,500 + $1,600 + $1,600 = $34,700.

I can't find any justification for the $33,000 number used by TurboTax.

If this number is wrong, how can it be corrected?  If the TurboTax number is right, how was it computed?

Minnesota standard deduction for married seniors over 65 filing jointly in 2025

NO...those are the Federal Std Deductions.

 

for 2025 Minnesota MFJ taxes it is 29,900 + (1550 for each person age 65 or older)  =33,000
