I am 65 years old and my Standard Deduction shows: $17,750, but I thought would get the additional enhanced deduction of $6000.00

If eligible you will find this on Schedule 1-A Part V and line 13b of your form 1040. TurboTax will automatically calculate it based on your date of birth and your income.  There is not a special section or box to check.  Just enter your correct information and TurboTax will take it from there.  
 

For Tax Year 2025 through 2028, seniors may claim an additional deduction of $6,000 per taxpayer over 65.  This is NOT a refundable credit.  This is a deduction of your income. 

• If your income is above $75,000 ($150,000 if Married filing jointly) the bonus deduction decreases by $.06 for every dollar over the relevant amount. 
• This deduction is available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction.
• If your filing status is married filing separately you are not eligible for this deduction.

This bonus deduction is ONLY for those who were 65 or older as of December 31, 2025, it does not apply to those who are blind and under 65

And here's how you can view it if you meet all of the qualifications mentioned by Vanessa A above.

If your return is still in preparation in Online TurboTax, here's how you can preview the Form 1040 and confirm you are getting the enhanced senior deduction.

• With your return open go to the left column menu, and click on TAX TOOLS, then subtab TOOLS.
• In the Tools window choose "View Tax Summary."
• On that Tax Summary screen you should see that you are getting "Additional Deductions (Schedule 1-A)."
• While still on that Tax Summary screen,  you can further verify it by going over to the left column menu and clicking on "Preview my 1040."  That opens up the Form 1040 Worksheet.   
• Scroll down to Line 13b, and the figure there includes the enhanced senior deduction from the Schedule 1-A.
• And while you are there, you should see your standard (or itemized) deduction on Line 12e.
