Deductions & credits

I think you are mixing up the Credit for the Elderly or Disabled and the additional standard deduction for people 65 or older. They are two separate things. Everyone who is 65 or older gets $1,300 (per person) added to their standard deduction, regardless of income. The only requirement is your age. The additional standard deduction has nothing to do with the Credit for the Elderly or Disabled on Schedule R. That credit has an income restriction and your income is too high to qualify for it. The Credit for the Elderly or Disabled is not added to your standard deduction. If TurboTax were giving you the credit it would appear on Schedule 3 line 54 with the notation "Sch R" next to it.

There is nothing you have to fix. Your tax return is correct as-is.
