You could also add either $1,550 or $1,950 if you are blind.
That would mean that, to have a standard deduction of $33,850 for your 2024 tax return, you must be married filing jointly, both spouses must be over age 65, and one spouse must be blind.
If those facts are true and you are not seeing the correct amount in Turbotax, go back to the personal interview and make sure you have correctly entered your birthdates and checked the box for "blind" for the correct spouse.
It's not clear what your question is. We cannot see your tax return, so we cannot verify anything. We don't know anything about you except what you write in your post, and you have not given any details. Are you saying that TurboTax is giving you a lower standard deduction than you are entitled to?
To get a standard deduction of $33,850 you have to be filing as married filing jointly, among other requirements. Is that the filing status that TurboTax shows?
When you go back through the My Info section of TurboTax, in addition to the things that Opus 17 listed, also make sure that you did not say that someone can claim either you or your spouse as a dependent.
What is the amount of the standard deduction that TurboTax is giving you?
