Deductions & credits

You sound so sure of your answer for how to handle 2021 standard deduction when over age 65 in Turbo Tax. Please tell me how you know this for sure. My husband and I are both over 65. Our birth dates are 1948 and 1949. Turbo Tax did not check the over 65 boxes, won't let me check them and only gives us 25,100 standard deduction. I called Turbo Tax. First person couldn't help me and was supposed to call me back. Never did. I called again. Second person contacted first person who said she would call back. Still never did. Second person did call back, but was no help resolving issue. She wanted me to find a form for schedule R and import it into Turbo Tax to report that I was over 65. I said that was unacceptable and asked to speak with supervisor. Supervisor, person number three, also could not help and is going to investigate and call me back. So I'm curious how you are so sure that Turbo Tax actually does handle over 65 standard deductions correctly. Pat
