In 2014, the standard deduction for a head of household is $9,100. Frieda is over 65 and deaf, so she qualifies for two additional standard deduction amounts of $1,200 each, totaling $2,400. Therefore, her total standard deduction is $9,100 + $2,400 = $11,500. However, the closest option to this amount is $10,650, which seems to be a mistake in the options provided.
