Addl. 6K senior deduction

I used the worksheet and determined I am entitled to almost the full $6K, but the system isn't showing anything.  How do I resolve that so I can file?

Addl. 6K senior deduction

If you have entered your information in My Info and you are age 65 or older then you get an increased standard deduction and are eligible the $6,000 senior deduction.  This deduction is calculated on Schedule 1-A and the amount flows to Form 1040 Line 13b.

An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older.
This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000.
