can anyone tell me why Turbo tax is not giving me any of the bonus senior deduction, why? My AGI is $81k I should be getting some

The deduction is based on your date of birth in My Info. So it is included. 

  You will only see the Standard or Itemized deduction on ‌line 12e of your tax return.

• However, the Senior Deduction is reflected on line 13b .
• Line 13b includes multiple deductions
  • Senior deduction
  • No tax on tips
  • No tax on Overtime
  • No tax on car loan interest.
• It is reflected on Schedule 1A, Part V, Line 37

There's a $6,000 deduction for individuals older than 65, and a $12,000 deduction would apply to couples who qualify.  

 For more information, see Deductions for Seniors.

Where are you looking?  It is not part of the Standard Deduction on 1040 line 12e but is separate on line 13b.  What is your filing status?   

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?

For Single you should get between 5400 & 5700.  Here is a table I made.
