The extra 2,000 for being over 65 is added to the Standard Deduction

For 2025 the standard deduction amounts are: (new as of July 5, 2025 OBBBA)

Single 15,750 + 2,000 for 65 and over or blind (17,750)

HOH 23,625 + 2,000 for 65 and over or blind (25,625)

Joint 31,500 + 1,600 for each 65 and over or blind (33,100/34,700)

Married filing Separate 15,750 + 1,600 for 65 and over or blind (17,350)

 

NEW ENHANCED SENIOR 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. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify. If you are married you have to file a Joint return.

 

For Online version you can preview the 1040
