You are looking at your 2022 return? What do you see on line 12? Standard deduction amount for your filing status or a different amount?

2022 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

SINGLE $12,950 (65 or older + $1750)

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $12,950 (65 or older + $1750)

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $25,900 (65 or older + $1400 per spouse)

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $19,400 (65 or older +$1750)

Legally Blind + $1750

What is the amount on line 12 of last year's (2022) return. We are filing the 2023 return now.

It shows $12,950. So it means I didn't itemize my deduction? I was confused because of this post(https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/itemize-last-year/L9ZrnBwbS_US_en_US).

So were you SINGLE or MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY in 2022? Because $12,950 was the Standard Deduction for both of those filing statuses.

I just read the link you posted, and that would confuse me, too. In any case, it is clear that you took the Standard Deduction in 2022. I hope that helps.
