Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, I just double-checked in the TurboTax Home and Business edition, and the enhanced senior deduction is working correctly for 2025. This is calculated automatically based on qualifying DOB's (before January 2, 1961) entered for the taxpayer / spouse in the "Personal Info" section. 

 

In your tax return viewable PDF copy, search for a form titled Schedule 1-A Additional Deductions. The total on Schedule 1-A Line 37 is your enhanced senior deduction for the year. The sum of these additional deductions (on Line 38) should flow to Line 13b on your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR (not the standard deduction). 

 To see or print a PDF of your tax return, select your product and follow the instructions.
