If you were 65 or older at the end of 2023 it is added automatically to line 12 of your Form 1040.
Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income. The standard deduction makes some of your income “tax free.” It is not a refund. You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2023 Form 1040.

There is an additional $1850 added to the standard deduction (though not separately itemized) based on the birthday entered in the My Info section of TurboTax. For one filer, you would see either $15,700 for single or married filing separately or $22,650 for head of household filers.
For joint filers where one spouse is 65 or older the amount would be $29,550 and where both are 65 or older $31,400.
You can check your standard deduction by clicking on Tax Tools then Tools and then selecting View Tax Summary.
