how do I add my senior deduction?

The new 6,000/12,000?   

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 deductions.

Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify.   If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

Before filing,  You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return

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…

Check your date of birth under My Info 

Check if your ssn is not checked for NOT valid for employment under My Info 

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

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

If your senior deduction isn't showing up, it's usually because your age or eligibility information wasn't entered correctly, or your state has specific requirements. Double-check your personal information, make sure you've answered all the interview questions, and review your state return if the deduction is state-specific. If everything looks correct and it's still missing, contacting TurboTax Support may help identify the issue. Hope you get it resolved quickly!
