Standard deduction for 65+ and filing single for tax year 2023/24

[la6830]

Hello-

I turned 65 last year and for the first time didn't have enough deductions to itemize so turbotax recommended taking the standard deduction which I did.  I'm now working on my 2024 taxes.  After reviewing the 2023 and 2024 senior deductions I'm a bit confused.  For 2023 the senior standard deduction filing single was $1,850.   But after reviewing my 2023 taxes, I noticed turbotax gave me a standard deduction of only $15,700. For this year (2024) the senior standard deduction is $1950 but my tax form (still in progress) is only showing $16,550.  I'm using turbotax on-line so calculations should be current according to my age.  What am I missing?

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick response.

According to updated IRS guidelines the 65+ standard deduction for 2024 should be $1950.    $1850 was for 2023.
