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 with any other sch 1-A amounts. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

 For Online version You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return

The enhanced senior deduction and higher standard deductions are automatically applied based on your birthdate entered - you do not need to make any extra entries to have the credits applied. You will see the deduction on Schedule 1-A, Part V when you print your return. You will also see it on Line 13b of Form 1040.
