The additional standard deduction amount for blindness applies per person. If one spouse is blind, the couple’s standard deduction is increased by one additional amount for a married person ($1,300 on a 2020 return). If both spouses are blind, the additional standard deduction amount on a 2020 return is $2,600 ($1,300 + $1,300). The additional standard deduction amount for a married person who is blind in 2021 is $1,350.
Payments within one tax year of the entire amount due to a participant in a qualified retirement plan. Qualifying lump sums may be directly rolled over tax free, or, in some cases, are eligible for current tax under a favorable averaging method.
