Need help thru Turbo tax where can you put 65 or older when claiming social security benefits before you finish filing.

[AmyC]

When you enter your birth dates, the program determines ages and applies credits and deductions accordingly. No extra work for you!

You can check details of your tax return, by following these steps in TurboTax:

1. Select Tax Tools on the left hand side of your screen,
2. Select Tools,
3. Select View Tax Summary,
4. Select Preview my 1040 on the left hand side of your screen.

You will see an increase in the standard deduction and any other items that affect you.

You don't need to tell it you are over 65 for Social Security.  That doesn't affect your SS taxable amount.  The only thing you get for being 65 and older is an increased Standard Deduction.

For 2019 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,200 + 1,650 for 65 and over or blind

HOH 18,350 + 1,650 for 65 and over or blind

Joint 24,400+ 1,300 for each 65 and over or blind

Married filing Separate 12,200 + 1,300 for 65 and over or blind
