Calculate your standard deduction for 2024. Includes additional deductions for age 65+ and blindness.
Take the standard deduction if your itemized deductions (mortgage interest, SALT up to $10K, charity, medical above 7.5% AGI) are less than the standard amount.
Taxpayers age 65 or older and/or legally blind qualify for additional amounts. Both can apply, so a 66-year-old blind single filer gets two additional amounts.
