$6,000 additional deduction per person in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB)

The following is from https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/the-2025-tax-bill-additional-6000-deduction-for-seniors-simplified/

On top of those increases to the standard deduction, OBBB adds an additional $6,000 deduction (per individual) for taxpayers 65 or older. This new deduction supplements a preexisting addition to the standard deduction for seniors of $2,000 for single filers and $1,600 per qualifying individual for married filers. This addition to the standard deduction is not available to tax filers who itemize deductions.

Has anyone heard any talk of when this new change might show up in the AARP 1040 tax calculator?

Within the article there is an "The IRS has an online tool you can use to calculate the bill" = hyper link to IRS tax calculator.

As to when AARP will modify there current tax calculator is - unknown.

It'll be here when it gets here.
