Final answer:

Maleko and Luni, a married couple filing jointly and neither being blind or over 65, would have a standard deduction of $25,900 for the tax year 2022.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the standard deduction for a married couple filing jointly in 2022. Since neither Maleko nor Luni is blind, and both are under age 65, their standard deduction is the base amount set for all married couples filing jointly, without any additional increases for age or blindness.

For the tax year 2022, the standard deduction for married couples filing jointly is $25,900. This means that Maleko and Luni would be able to reduce their taxable income by this amount when they file their taxes.
