Go to How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?

Look for the line Standard or Itemized Deduction line.  

The Standard deduction is $12,200 for single filers and married filers filing separately, $24,400 for married filers filing jointly and $18,350 for heads of household

If you are filing as Married Filing Jointly and both of you are age 65 or older then the standard deduction is $27,400

 

Standard deductions for 2020

  • Single - $12,400 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
  • Married Filing Separately - $12,400 add $1,300 if age 65 or older
  • Married Filing Jointly - $24,800 add $1,300 for each spouse age 65 or older
  • Head of Household - $18,650 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
