Senior deduction

Where is the senior deduction entered on 1040SR? Is there a worksheet for computing the deduction yet?

It is automatic if you or spouse is 65+.   You don’t need to do anything.

 

It is calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A.   Which goes to 1040 line 13b. This is in addition to the Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.

Thank you!  I'm doing some manual calculations so I can decide on this year's Roth Conversion amount.
