According to the IRS website:

  • The $6,000 senior deduction is per eligible individual (i.e., $12,000 total for a married couple where both spouses qualify).

I'm not sure what your point is. The sentence that you quoted from the IRS web page is simply telling you that $6,000 + $6,000 = $12,000. The page doesn't say anything about how the phaseout is calculated.
