Standard Deduction. The standard deduction is the same across the board for everyone in each filing status. If you're married and file jointly, it's $12,200 as of 2013. It's half this amount or $6,100 if you're single or married and filing separately. If you're over 65, or if you're blind, the IRS lets you tack on an additional $1,200 to $1,500.
