Where are you looking for it? It is not part of your Standard Deduction.

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.

What do you have on 1040 or 1040SR line 13b?
See the 1040 ….

Thank you for the response, I see now that it is there and calculating correctly. Previously I could not figure out how to preview the review without paying (and didn’t want to make the payment if it wasn’t working properly).
