Does anyone find an error with Turbo Tax for the Enhanced Deduction for seniors?

We are receiving only credit for one person.

The deduction is automatically calculated by TurboTax if you qualify. The calculation will appear on Schedule 1-A page 2, Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors, which is then carried to your Form 1040 line 13b. 

The maximum deduction is $6,000 for each person 65. There is a phaseout of the deduction once your income (MAGI) exceeds $75,000 for single or $150,000 for married filing jointly (MFJ). On a joint return the phaseout is calculated separately for each person.

On a joint return the phaseout is calculated separately for each person, so the 6% phases out for each spouse. This deduction is intended to provide tax relief for seniors and is in addition to the existing Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions. Expires December 31, 2028.

it might be that you are  getting it for noth but the amount is reduced when Modified Adjusted Gross Income on line 3 of Schedule 1-A is over $150,00

then if filing jointly and both are over 65, you lose 12% of the maximum of $12,000 for each dollar MAGI is over $150,000

Why do you think  you are only getting it for 1 person?   I can think of a couple things.....

Go back to My Info and check both birthdates.  You both had to be 65 or older on Dec 31, 2025.

Check that your ssn under My Info was marked NOT VALID for employment.  Uncheck that.

How much is on your 1040 or 1040 SR line 13b?  Maybe you have a high income and the total for both is being phased out.  For Joint the deductions starts to phase out at 150,000 and maxes out at 250,000
