Answer 1

Curtis Williams is 69 years old. His wife, Mary Williams, is 67 years old. Curtis and Mary plan to file a joint return. Mary is legally blind. IRS provides high standard deduction to married couples who have age of 65 or above and blind or one of the partner is legally blind.

IRS states that if filling for joint return is done by married taxpayers in the year 2022 then normal standard deduction is $25,900. In this case Curtis and Mary both are over the age of 65 and Mary is blind too then as per IRS guidelines they will get $1,400 deduction per person for being above 65 plus Mary will get additional $1,400 deduction for being legally blind.

$25,900 + $1,400 + $1,400 + $1,400 = $30,100

Hence, Curtis and Mary's standard deduction is $30,100.
