 So let's add that if they're blind it's a tragic situation here and we'll up this over and say that they're blind. So now I'm going to go okay forms I like to start at the 1040 just because it's easier for me to see I'm more used to it and so I can say okay now two boxes are checked you were born before January 2nd 1958 and are blind so now the deduction is going up to 16450. So if I was on my Excel worksheet I'd say okay now there's two of these that were increased to the 16450 to get us to the taxable income income of the 83550 so there's the 83550 which of course you can see on the form 1040 SR as well so there's the single status and we're going to say on page two there's the 16450 there's the taxable income 83550. Now if we had a married couple I'm just to see another combination because there's more combos if they're married and they're both over 65 and one of them was blind now I'm going to say okay so so the we're born before January 2nd 19 our blind spouse was born before but not blind so now we've got the standard deduction at the 30100 if I go back on over I would say okay normally it would be the married filing joint but then I'm going to add the 1400 for one spouse plus 1400 for the other spouse plus 1400 because one of the spouses were blind and that's going to get us to the 30100 getting us to the taxable income of the 699 there's the 699 you can see that on the 1040 SR as well married filing joint there's our check boxes 3 out of 4 being checked off on page 2 then we can see the 30100 the 699 there 699 there and then again if I look at page 4 now if I was married filing joint there's the 30100 because 3 out of the 4 kind of added categories have been checked off both of them over 65 one out of the two blind and just jumping back to the married filing separate status I'll remember that if married filing separate you could have some restrictions for example if I go back to married filing separate and I scroll down then typically that would take you back down to the the standard for the single filer which is the 12950 but you could imagine a situation where one of the spouses is itemizing in which case you would have to force the itemizing of this spouse possibly for married filing separate and that of course can have a big impact on on the taxes when you're thinking about what someone can do married filing joint versus a married filing separate so remember that when you get into the weeds of a married couple and they're like should we file married filing separate there's kind of a couple questions the one is would it be beneficial from a tax standpoint usually it's not usually married filing joint would be better and then you have other questions that that may lead them to want to marry filing joint or separate and then if one is itemizing that could complicate the situation as well and if you're living in community property states that also could be different or is different in terms of the calculation from a non-community property state so just make sure that you've got you know those things kind of straightened out and that that someone can't really go from married filing joint just back to single married filing separate is not the same as single or jumping back to bake basically like head of household there's usually going to be restrictions to married filing separate that may not be there if you were head of household or single filing status so those are the general concepts
