election would reduce that person's tax liability. A person who takes the
deduction under subsection (1)(e) is not eligible for the unrestricted
deduction of $20,000.00 for a single return and $40,000.00 for a joint return
under this subdivision.
(f) For a joint return, the limitations and restrictions in
this subsection shall be applied based on the date of birth of the older spouse
filing the joint return. If a deduction under subsection (1)(f) was claimed on
a joint return for a tax year in which a spouse died and the surviving spouse
has not remarried since the death of that spouse, the surviving spouse is entitled
to claim the deduction under subsection (1)(f) in subsequent tax years subject
to the same restrictions and limitations, for a single return, that would have
applied based on the date of birth of the older of the 2 spouses. For tax years
beginning after December 31, 2019, a surviving spouse born after 1945 who has
reached the age of 67 and has not remarried since the death of that spouse may
elect to take the deduction that is available against all types of income
subject to the same limitations and restrictions as provided under this
subsection based on the surviving spouse's date of birth instead of taking the
deduction allowed under subsection (1)(f), for a single return, based on the
date of birth of the older spouse.
