Get your taxes done using TurboTax

 You don't have to do anything.  It is based on your date of birth in My Info

 

 You will only see the Standard or Itemized deduction on ‌line 12e of your tax return.

  • However, the Senior Deduction is reflected on line 13b .
  • It is reflected on Schedule 1A, Part V, Line 37

There's a $6,000 deduction for individuals older than 65, and a $12,000 deduction would apply to couples who qualify.
