Depends on your Filing Status. For Single it would be 15,950.

If you are single, the standard deduction is $12,550 plus

If you are age 65 or older, your standard deduction increases by $1,700 if you file as Single or Head of Household. If you are legally blind, your standard deduction increases by $1,700 as well.
