Last year President Trump authorized an additional tax Credit for Srs. This was not shown by turbo ax at the time we submitted our taxes, how do we fix this?

No there is not an additional tax credit for seniors in the tax code passed by Congress.

If you are age 65 or older there is an increase in the standard deduction, which has also been available for prior tax years.
