We have just downloaded the 2025 Lacerte program.  I have entered some data to determine how the bonus deduction will work and it's not.  Is this deduction an update that will be done later?

    It should be automatic.  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. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify.
