how do I know if I received the $6000 deduction for being over age 65?

Trump passed this to help seniors with increased cost of living

Look at Schedule 1a

It is automatic based on your age. It is not part of your Standard Deduction. The new Senior Deduction is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b with any other sch 1-A amounts. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

If you are Joint and both over 65 the full $46,700 (34,700+12,000) should be on 1040 line 14. What do you have on 1040 or 1040SR line 13b?
