I am trying to check using my last year tax return.

So were you SINGLE or MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY in 2022? Because $12,950 was the Standard Deduction for both of those filing statuses.

You are looking at your 2022 return?  What do you see on line 12?    Standard deduction amount for your filing status or a different amount?

 

2022 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

 

SINGLE $12,950  (65 or older + $1750)

 

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $12,950  (65 or older + $1750)

 

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $25,900  (65 or older + $1400 per spouse)

 

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD  $19,400  (65 or older +$1750)

It shows $12,950. So it means I didn't itemize my deduction? I was confused because of this post(https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/itemize-last-year/L9ZrnBwbS_US_en_US).

What is the amount on line 12 of last year's (2022) return.    We are filing the 2023 return now.
