Effective for the 2025 tax year (and set to expire after 2028), the recent “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”) enacted a new $6,000 deduction for seniors aged 65 or older. This is in addition to the existing standard deduction and the extra standard deduction available to individuals in this age group. For married couples filing jointly where both spouses are 65 or older, the deduction doubles to $12,000.
