how do i complete schedule 1-a part V to see if i qualify enhanced deductions for seniors?

You don't have to do anything to get the deduction for seniors. TurboTax will give it to you automatically if you qualify, based on the birth date that you entered in your personal information and your income.

The deduction for seniors is calculated in Part V of Schedule 1-A. The amount of the deduction will be on Schedule 1-A line 37. The total deductions from Schedule 1-A will be on Form 1040 line 13b, which might include other deductions besides the deduction for seniors.

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?

Before filing you can preview the 1040 or print the whole return
