Final answer:

The additional standard deduction for age and blindness is not greater for married taxpayers than for single taxpayers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The additional standard deduction for age and blindness is not greater for married taxpayers than for single taxpayers. The additional standard deduction for age and blindness is the same for both married and single taxpayers.

For the tax year 2020, the additional standard deduction for age and blindness is $1,300 for each married taxpayer who is age 65 or older or blind, and $1,650 for unmarried taxpayers who are age 65 or older or blind.

The tax brackets by income can vary each year and are subject to change, so it is important to consult the official IRS resources or tax professionals to get the most up-to-date information.
