The IRS adjusts the standard deduction annually for inflation using the Chained CPI (C-CPI-U). For 2026, single filers received a $15,000 deduction. Applying an estimated 3% increase yields ~$15,450 for 2027. The IRS rounds to the nearest $50 for standard deductions, so the actual figure may be $15,400 or $15,450.
