How do I claim the additional 2022 standard deduction of $1,400 for those over 65 years of age?

[MonikaK1]

TurboTax will automatically give you the additional standard deduction if it applies based on the date of birth you enter into the program. If you have enough itemizable deductions to exceed the additional standard deduction, TurboTax will give you the larger amount.

See this article for more information on tax issues for seniors.

For 2022 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,950 + 1,750 or 65 and over or blind (14,700)

HOH 19,400 + 1,750 for 65 and over or blind

Joint 25,900 + 1,400 for each 65 and over or blind

Married filing Separate 12,950 + 1,400 for 65 and over or blind

The Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions whichever is more will be on 1040 line 12. Double check your birthdate under My Info.
