I’m having a hard time amending my 2025 taxes for the 65 and older deduction

[Mike9241]

if your age was correct in the original return filed, there should be no need to amend. The calculation is done on Schedule 1-A part V with the result on line 37 that carries to line 13b of the 1040-SR,

Why do you need to amend?  Turbo Tax would have automatically included the new 6,000/12,000 Senior Deduction on your return if you qualified for it.   Double check your return 1040 line 13b.  Do you have an amount there?   It is not part of your Standard Deduction.  What do you think you need to change?

If you aren’t automatically getting the new Enhanced Senior Deduction on 1040 line 13b (from Schedule 1-A) in addition to the regular Standard Deduction on line 12e, some things to check….

Check your date of birth under My Info
Check that your ssn under My Info was marked NOT VALID for employment. Uncheck that.
If you are married you have to file a Joint return not Separate
Is your AGI over 175,000 Single or 250,000 Joint?
