Is one of you  either 65 or older or legally blind?

 

Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income. The standard deduction makes some of your income “tax free.”  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2023 Form 1040.

the standard deduction for MFJ is 27,700 for 2023 + 1500 if either is over 65 + 1500 if either is blind, double those amounts if both taxpayers meet the criteria.
