  • Standard deductions for retirees have increased substantially. 

  • Married couples filing jointly over 65 receive an additional $12,000 deduction.

  •  Lower tax brackets and bigger deductions offer more room for IRA and 401k withdrawals. 

  • Roth conversions are attractive for those under 73. 

  • No tax on tips up to $25,000 deduction until 2028. 

  • Larger standard deductions reduce taxable social security benefits.
