How do I file my senior deduction with turbot tax?

[MelindaS1]

The senior deduction is a separate deduction from your standard deduction, and pulls into your 1040 on a different line (Line 13b) from a different form. It is usually $6,000 for each taxpayer above age 65.

In your tax return viewable PDF copy, search for a form titled Schedule 1-A Additional Deductions. The total on Schedule 1-A Line 37 is your enhanced senior deduction for the year. The sum of these additional deductions (on Line 38) should flow to Line 13b on your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR.

The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.
