Many seniors 65 and up are eligible for the additional deduction for seniors, but this deduction has income limitations. It begins phasing out at income of $75,000 for a single filer (or $150,000 married) and is completely phased out at income of $175,000 for a single filer (or $250,000 married).
This additional deduction for seniors is calculated automatically based on the birthday you have entered in your tax return.
Also, there is an additional standard deduction, which is $1,600 more for each of you making your standard deduction $34,700 instead of $31,500. See: What's my standard deduction for 2025?
