So for MFJ the deduction is 33100 (std +65yrs) plus the 2025 $6000 ? My turbo tax did not account for the $6000 and I already files my taxes

If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.

Standard deductions for 2025

Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older
Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older

New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB):
An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older.
This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000.
Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028.
Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.

The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b

Thank you. No because I already filed and the application failed to add the 6K deduction on my return. I lost about 1100 which I hope will get back once I file an addendum

Did you look at Schedule !-A to see the computation? If your Modified Adjusted Gross income is more than $175,000 ($250,000 if filing jointly), you lose this deduction.

Do you have anything on 1040 line 13b? The Senior Deduction is not added to the Standard Deduction on line 12e but is listed separately on 13b.

If you aren’t getting the new Enhanced Senior Deduction on Schedule 1-A which goes to 1040 line 13b these should be the only reasons…

If you are married you have to file a Joint return not Separate

Is your AGI over 175,000 Single or 250,000 Joint?
