The Schedule 1-A has been available for months.

If you are using the TurboTax desktop editions, click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen. Then click on Check for Updates.

If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you are not eligible for the deduction. If you are Single and your AGI is over $150,000 or Married Filing Jointly and your AGI is over $250,000 you are not eligible for the deduction.

If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.

Standard deductions for 2025

Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older
Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older

New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB):
An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older.
This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000.
Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028.
Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.

The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b

According to TurboTax's tax form availability matrix (https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_windows&bu=cg), this form should be available for e-file in the desktop windows software, however, I have the software with the latest updates, and it shows that the form is not finalized and cannot be submitted. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a date. TurboTax, can you fix your matrix please!

@richlux The Schedule 1-A has been available in TurboTax for two months or longer. You need to make sure you have the latest software update. Click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen. Click on Check for Updates.

If you show as being updated and still have this issue, then use a manual update if you are using a Windows based computer. See this for a manual update - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/manually-update-turbotax-windows-software-basic/L3Wf9OPaf_US_en_US

Or, save the tax return, close the TurboTax program. Close and re-start your computer.

IRS Schedule 1-A is generated when the taxpayer reports:

No tax on tips,
No tax on overtime,
No tax on car loan interest, or
Enhanced deduction for seniors

In TurboTax Online, view the entry by:

Selecting Tools down the left side of the screen,
Selecting View Tax Summary

Note the entry Additional Deductions (Schedule 1-A).

In TurboTax Desktop, select FORMS in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Turbotax is also not generating a Schedule 1-A form for me either despite qualifying for everything.

Form 1-A is available. I used it for Tips and it works. I'm using Windows desktop. Turbotax says its avaialble for all platforms. If it's not working, check your entries. If you have desktop, you can review the Schedule in forms mode. Not sure about online. You may have to pay any fees before you can review or print it.
