SC $10000 65 or over

[natural-52]

My wife and I are  are 65 or 65+ in the 2025 tax year and its in correction in info. We are filing jointly. On the SC form only I'm getting the $10000 deduction but it should be for both as my wife turned 65 in 2025. What is the issue?

Based on what you are saying, it sounds like you are talking about the retirement deduction for South Carolina.  In order to get the deduction, each of you must have retirement income that you receive.  Up to $10,000 of retirement income can be claimed for this deduction and it will appear on the South Carolina SC1040 form under Subtractions from Federal Taxable Income on line p.  If your wife didn't have any retirement income, she wouldn't be eligible to get the deduction.
