2025 Senior Deduction under the OBBB

The 2025 Senior Deduction under the OBBB allows up to a $6k ADDITIONAL deduction per taxpayer for taxpayers 65 or older by 2025 yr end. The deduction is phased out once MAGI exceeds $75k for a single taxpayer or $150k for MFJ taxpayers. This has been confirmed by TurboTax in previous discussions this year.

 

To find this deduction you need to go to Schedule 1-A (new this year) Parts V & VI, where the deduction is calculated automatically.  The result is entered on 1040 on line 13c.
