How do check if I took standard deduction or itemized deductions for last year (2023)?

I am trying to check using my last year tax return.

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

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).

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.
