So... what is the total for: married filing jointly, both over 65, neither one blind.
Every review I have read shoots out the "$1,300" thing but never makes clear that the 1,300 is per person (of the joint filing) or a single addition for the joint filing.
Thanks in advance.

$27,400.
Each person over 65 gets an additional $1300 added to the $24,800 for married filing jointly.
