turbotax says i can manually enter my schedule 1A but can't find it. Where do I find it?

I tried under Federal like it said but it isn't there... I am trying to use the Enhanced Senior Benefit and it doesn't want to pick up my age.

When using the TurboTax online editions there is no direct access to forms, schedules or worksheets

 

If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.

 

Standard deductions for 2025

Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older
Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older

 

New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB):
An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older.
This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000.
Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028.
Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.


The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b

Look at your Form 1040 -

You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

".....doesn't want to pick up my age..."

 

Did you enter your date of birth correctly in MY INFO?    Check MY INFO to see what you entered for your date of birth.   If you were not 65 by the end of 2025 you will not get the senior deduction.

Yes I even deleted it and reentered it but it won't accept it.

@nelsons21 Could this be the reason -

 

If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you are not eligible for the deduction.  If you are Single and your AGI is over $150,000 or Married Filing Jointly and your AGI is over $250,000 you are not eligible for the deduction.
