For 2023, the standard deduction for married filing jointly is $27,700, for single is $13,850, and for head of household is $20,800. Jenny and Jim's income exceeds the standard deduction for married filing jointly, so they are required to file. Allen and Timmy's incomes do not exceed their respective standard deductions, so they are not required to file.
