So I am doing my 2019 turbo tax return and enter my deductions except I never say one for my 65 and older for $1300 additional standard deduction. I cannot itemize because based on my info turbo tax 2019 automatically tranformed my return to the standard deduction for married filed jointly. Am I getting the 65 or older credit since I turned 65 in October 2019 or do I have to add it somewhere? Can’t see were I am getting the additional deduction in turbo tax 2019?
The standard deduction is automatic and if your date of birth was entered correctly in the My Info section, the additional amount for being age 65 or older will be added to the standard deduction.
Look at your tax return Form 1040 Line 9
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
