1040-SR, standard deduction

lynndahow — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:12:57 GMT

I notice that the 1040-SR form that generated after I did my taxes does not reflect the $16,450 standard deduction on Line 12 based on me being over 65. It only has $14,700 on line 12. Is this extra $1,750 reflected elsewhere on the form? I do not see it. Thank you.

That's right.

For 2022 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,950 + 1,750 for 65 and over or blind (14,700)

HOH 19,400 + 1,750 for 65 and over or blind (21,150)

Joint 25,900 + 1,400 for each 65 and over or blind (27,300/28,700)

Married filing Separate 12,950 + 1,400 for 65 and over or blind (14,350)

Thanks everyone for the quick reply. I was looking at the Standard Deduction chart incorrectly I guess. I appreciate the guidance. Best, L
