One of you must be over 65. You get an extra 1,500 for each person 65 or older or blind.
For 2023 the standard deduction amounts are:
Single 13,850 + 1,850 or 65 and over or blind
HOH 20,800 + 1,850 for 65 and over or blind
Joint 27,700+ 1,500 for each 65 and over or blind (both 30,700)
Married filing Separate 13,850 + 1,500 for 65 and over or blind
People who are 65 or older and those who are considered blind by IRS definition, get an additional standard deduction amount. If one of you turned 65 before the end of the year, you are eligible for this additional deduction. If you are not over 65 or blind there could be a possibility that you marked an incorrect box in the beginning of your return.
