where is the entry for the $6000 senior tax credit in home and business?

The senior deduction of $6,000 is automatically calculated by TurboTax based on the dates of birth you entered for each spouse.

 

Married couples filing separately are not eligible for the senior deduction.

 

The senior additional deduction is not included in the standard deduction but appears on line 37 of Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, with that amount flowing to line 13b of your form 1040.

 

In TurboTax Online, you can only view Schedule 1-A after registering and paying the TurboTax fee.

 

But you can preview your form 1040 and check line 13b of your form 1040 which includes the senior deduction among other deductions if applicable, such as the tip deduction, the overtime or the car loan interest deduction.

 

To preview your form 1040 in TurboTax Online, follow these steps:

 

  1. Open your return
  2. In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools
  3. On the Tools Center page, click on View Tax Summary
  4. In the left-hand column, click on Preview my 1040
  5. Your form 1040 will display.
  6. Scroll down to line 13b  and you should see the amount of this deduction included in this line.
