  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the Standard Deduction Worksheet in the editor.
  2. Begin by determining if your earned income exceeds $650. If yes, add $350 to your earned income and enter the total. If no, simply enter $1,000.
  3. Next, refer to the standard deduction amounts based on your filing status: Single or married filing separately—$6,100; Married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er)—$12,200; Head of household—$8,950.
  4. For line 3a, enter the smaller amount from line 1 or line 2. If you were born after January 1, 1949 and are not blind, stop here and transfer this amount to Form 1040, line 40.
  5. If you were born before January 2, 1949 or are blind, proceed to line 3b. Multiply the number on Form 1040, line 39a by $1,200 (or $1,500 if single or head of household).
  6. Finally, add lines 3a and 3b together and enter the total on Form 1040, line 40.

Example of a standard deduction: Say your 2023 income is $50,000, and your filing status is single. The standard deduction you can apply is $13, 850, which means you will only have to pay taxes on $36,150 of income.
If you prepare your tax return on paper, use Form 1040 to calculate your taxable income. Usually on line 12 of the form, you have the option to write in either the standard deduction amount for your filing status or the sum of your itemized deductions.
The standard deduction for 2024 is $14,600 for single filers and married people filing separately, $21,900 for heads of household, and $29,200 for those married filing jointly and surviving spouses.
For single filers and heads of households age 65 and over, the additional standard deduction increased slightly from $1,950 in 2024 (returns filed earlier this year) to $2,000 in 2025 (returns youll file in early 2026). For 2025, married couples over 65 filing jointly will also see a modest benefit.
