Am I Eligible for the Senior Deduction?
To qualify for the new OBBBA senior deduction, you must:
- Be age 65 or older by December 31, 2025 (born before January 2, 1961)
- File as Single, Head of Household, Qualifying Surviving Spouse, or Married Filing Jointly
- Have MAGI below $175,000 (Single) or $250,000 (MFJ) for any deduction amount
If filing MFJ, each spouse is evaluated independently. If only one spouse is 65+, you get $6,000. If both are 65+, you get $12,000.

The new OBBBA deduction is in addition to your standard deduction and the existing additional standard deduction for age 65+. Here is what a single filer age 65+ can deduct:
For MFJ with both spouses 65+, the stack can reach $30,000 + $3,200 + $12,000 = $45,200.
