2024 Standard Deduction For Married Couples Over 65. The standard deduction rises to $29,200 for married couples filing a joint tax return, which is an increase of $1,500 from tax year 2023; For the 2023 tax year (for forms you file in 2024), the standard deduction is $13,850 for single filers and married couples filing separately, $27,700 for married.

Up until this year, my calculations have been consistently correct. If you are 65 or older and blind, the extra standard deduction for 2024 is $3,900 if you are single or filing as head of household.
