If you are over 65, you will qualify for an additional deduction

Social Security is still being taxed as it was in the past; however, there's a new $6,000 deduction for individuals older than 65 years old.  Also, a $12,000 deduction would apply to couples who qualify.  

• This deduction is for qualified individuals.
  • Age: You must be 65 or older by the end of the tax year (e.g., born before Jan 2, 1961, for 2025 returns).
  • Income Limits: Your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) must be below certain thresholds (e.g., $175k single, $250k joint for 2025), with deductions phasing out above those levels.
  • Benefit: Up to $6,000 (single) or $12,000 (joint) additional standard deduction to reduce taxable income. 
• Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers).

The full taxable amount is included in your gross income on Form 1040; however, the Senior Deduction is reflected on line 13b.

It is reflected on Schedule 1A, Part V, Line 37
