2024 Standard Deduction Over 65 Married. That’s the 2024 regular standard deduction of $29,200 for married taxpayers filing joint returns, plus three additional standard deductions at $1,550 apiece. If you don't itemize deductions, you are entitled to a higher standard deduction if you are age 65 or older at the end of the year.

For taxable years beginning in 2024, the additional standard deduction amount under § 63(f) for the aged or the blind is $1,550. Taxpayers get a higher standard deduction when they turn 65 or are blind.
