Client turned 65 during 2021. The extra $1,700 of standard deduction is included on Form 1040, but the supporting worksheet form standard deduction does not include extra $1,700 because cutoff date has not been updated from last year.

The disjoint between form 1040 and the standard deduction worksheet is not considered an "error" in the software.  I assume I can go ahead and file like this?

I think I answered my own question.  Apparently the standard deduction worksheet is only to be used if a person can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.  Kind of weird.
