For Tax Years 2025 through 2028, there is an additional 6,000 deduction for seniors.

TurboTax makes this calculation automatically and lists the “Additional Deduction” on the new Schedule 1-A which flows to your 1040 line 13b.

It is NOT added to your Standard Deduction.
It is not subtracted from your Adjusted Gross Income

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.
