See the table below for the Standard Deduction amounts. While this is the typical amount the taxpayer would have, it is possible for the amount to be higher under certain circumstances.

Year	Single	Married Filing Joint	Married Filing Separate	Head of Household	Qualifying Surviving Spouse*
2024	$14,600	$29,200	$14,600	$21,900	$29,200
2023	$13,850	$27,700	$13,850	$20,800	$27,700
2022	$12,950	$25,900	$12,950	$19,400	$25,900
2021	$12,550	$25,100	$12,550	$18,800	$25,100
2020	$12,400	$24,800	$12,400	$18,650	$24,800

Dependent of Another

The Standard Deduction on Dependent of Another returns follows different rules:

Year	The standard deduction for an individual who can be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return is generally limited to the greater of:
2024	$1,300	The individual's earned income for the year plus $4501
2023	$1,250	The individual's earned income for the year plus $4001
2022	$1,150	The individual's earned income for the year plus $4001
2021	$1,100	The individual's earned income for the year plus $3501
2020	$1,100	The individual's earned income for the year plus $3501

¹ (but not more than the regular standard deduction amount for that year)

65 or Blind

If the taxpayer and/or spouse is 65 or older, and/or blind, however, the standard deduction may be higher:

Tax Year	Deduction increase by Filing Status
	Single	Married Filing Joint	Married Filing Separate	Head of Household	Qualifying Surviving Spouse*
2024	$1,950	$1,550	$1,550	$1,950	$1,550
2023	$1,850	$1,500	$1,500	$1,850	$1,500
2022	$1,750	$1,400	$1,400	$1,750	$1,400
2021	$1,700	$1,350	$1,350	$1,700	$1,350
2020	$1,650	$1,300	$1,300	$1,650	$1,300

To determine your allowed deduction, multiply the amount shown for "increase by filing status" (above) by the number of additional exemptions that the taxpayer (and spouse if filing joint) qualify for. For example, in a 2023 MFJ return where both taxpayers are over the age of 65, and the spouse is also blind, you multiply $1,500 by 3 and add that amount to the standard deduction of $27,700 to get $32,200.
