To see the amount of your deduction, look on line 12 Standard deduction or itemized deductions (from Schedule A). If it is an odd amount, you have itemized. If it is one of the amount below for your filing status, then it is the Standard Deduction. these amounts are to the immediate left of Line 12.

 

  • Single filing status: $12,400 if under age 65.
  • Married filing jointly: $24,800 if both spouses under age 65
  • Married filing separately — $5 for all ages.
  • Head of household: $18,650 if under age 65
  • Qualifying widow: $24,800 if under age 65
