Question

1040 Worksheet line 8 amount shown is $25,300. My Sch A deductions are under $20,000. Seems like this line should show the standard deduction of $24K. Why not?

    Your standard deduction is $25,300 as one of the spouses is 65 or older. The standard deduction is increased by $1,300 for each spouse 65 or over (or blind) from the $24,000 for a married couple under 65 years of age.
