TurboTax online edition - Will the federal standard deductions change if I live abroad ?

TurboTax online edition on Windows

 

For 2023 tax year :

$13,850 for single filers and married filing separately

$27,700 for married filing jointly

$20,800 for heads of household

 

Will any of these federal standard deductions change if I live overseas ? Will I get the same federal standard deductions if I live outside the US ?

If you are a U.S.citizen, you are responsible for filing a U.S. tax return on your world-wide income.   Your filing requirement will be based on the standard deduction in effect for the specific tax year.  No, living overseas does not change your standard deduction.
