Does anyone else not receiving the seniors aged 65 or older $6000 additional deduction in turbotax? MFJ should be $31,500 base + $12,000 extra = $43,500.

A new, temporary additional deduction of $6,000 for those aged 65 and older (or $12,000 for a married couple if both qualify) is available for tax years 2025 through 2028. The deduction begins to phase out at income greater than $75,000 and $150,000 if you’re married filing jointly. This is in addition to the standard deduction or itemized deductions. 

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

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