If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you will not be eligible for the additional senior deduction.
The full deduction is available for single filers with a Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) under $75,000 and married couples under $150,000. The deduction reduces by 6% for every dollar over these thresholds. It phases out completely at $175,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples.
The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b
Look at your Form 1040 -
