why was the senior tax deduction for 2025 tax of $6000.00 not entered on my Turbo Tax form?

The deduction is based on your date of birth in My Info. So it is included. 

 You will only see the Standard or Itemized deduction on ‌line 12e of your tax return.

• However, the Senior Deduction is reflected on line 13b .
• Line 13b includes multiple deductions
  • Senior deduction
  • No tax on tips
  • No tax on Overtime
  • No tax on car loan interest.
• It is reflected on Schedule 1A, Part V, Line 37

There's a $6,000 deduction for individuals older than 65, and a $12,000 deduction would apply to couples who qualify.  

For more information, see Deductions for Seniors.

Its not a credit. it's a deduction, separte from the standard deduction, that can get phased out if your income is too high. The calculation is done on Schedule 1-A part V  and carried to line 13b of your 1040
