How do I claim the additional deduction of 3700.00 as a senior age of 65?

[deb1805]

I need to add the senior 65 or older additional standard deduction to my return. Where on the form do I enter this information?

[Bsch4477]

For 2023, the additional standard deduction amounts for taxpayers who are 65 and older or blind are: $1,850 for Single or Head of Household (increase of $100) $1,500 for married taxpayers or Qualifying Surviving Spouse. 

Turbotax will automatically give you this based on the ages you reported in the program.

When you enter your date of birth in My Info the higher standard deduction is used automatically if you were 65 or older at the end of 2023.

Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income. The standard deduction makes some of your income “tax free.”  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2023 Form 1040.

2023 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS

SINGLE $13,850  (65 or older/legally blind + $1850)

MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $13,850  (65 or older/legally blind + $1500)

MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $27,700  (65+/legally blind) )  + $1500 per spouse

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD  $20,800 (65 or older/blind)  + $1850)
