It is automatic based on your age. It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

Los limites cambian cada año y los puedes encontrar aqui.   En caso donde su solo ingreso es de Seguro Social (formulario SSA-1099) , tipicamente no se requiere hacer declaracion, al no ser que hayas recibido ingresos adicionales.    Pero, se recomienda hacer las declaraciones aunque no se requiere por si a caso eres eligible para un reembolso o un credito donde se requiere una declaracion para recibirlo.

Caulquier creditos para decalaciones mas viejas, se pierden.    TurboTax solo le puede ayudar con las declaraciones de los 3 años anteriores (aqui).

My husband and I were both over 65 in 2025, filing jointly.  I do not see the additional $6000 deductions that should be in addition to our Standard Deduction, as per the OBBB. Our Standard Deduction shows up as $34,700 ($31,500+$1600+$1600). Our income falls well beneath the $150,000 income cutoff for eligibility.   Shouldn't I see an additional $12,000 income deduction somewhere? It is not obvious!           

Medicare and Social Security are FICA.    You do not enter your son's income on your own tax return.  If no other tax was withheld -- federal tax in box 2 or state tax in box 17, he does not need to file a tax return at all.
