For the 2026 tax year, the standard deduction for a single filer is $13,850. However, since you mentioned "for 2," I'm assuming you're asking about the standard deduction for a single filer who is also the head of a household, or possibly claiming an exemption for a dependent. If that's the case, the standard deduction would be $20,800 for a head of household. But if the "2" refers to joint filing, that's a different story - for joint filers, the standard deduction is $27,700. To clarify your specific situation and get an accurate deduction, consider your filing status and number of dependents.
