    You must have read the new amounts for now in 2025.   For 2024 the standard deduction amounts are:

    Single 14,600 + 1,950 for 65 and over or blind (16,550)

    HOH 21,900 + 1,950 for 65 and over or blind (23,850)

    Joint 29,200 + 1,550 for each 65 and over or blind (30,750/32,300)

    Married filing Separate 14,600 + 1,550 for 65 and over or blind (16,150)
