2022 Standard Deductions

The deduction set by the IRS for 2022 is as follows:

$12,950 for single filers
$12,950 for married couples filing separately
$19,400 for heads of households
$25,900 for married couples filing jointly
$25,900 for surviving spouses

The additional standard deduction amount for an individual who is aged or blind is set at $1,400. That amount increases to $1,750 for individuals who are unmarried and if they aren’t surviving spouses.
