Getting prepared for 2025. Let’s talk about our standard deductions. Married filing jointly and surviving spouses: $31,500, up about $2,300 from 2024. Single and married filing separately: $15,750, up about $1,150.

And head of household: $23,000. If you’re over the age of 65, there will be some additional deductions that you’ll be able to claim.
