What is standard deduction for 2021 for seniors?
In 2020, taxpayers who were 65 or older or blind could claim an additional $1,300 standard deduction ($1,650 if filing as a single or head of household). For those who are both 65 and blind, the additional deduction amount is doubled once more.
The standard deduction in 2020 will be the greater of $1,100 or earned income, plus $350 if you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return, same like it was in 2021. However, the sum cannot exceed your filing status’ basic standard deduction.

Unfortunately, that tax advantage will not be available in 2021.
