No. The new tax law eliminated personal exemptions on your federal return. Instead, you have a much higher standard deduction. You will see it on line 8 of your Form 1040.

2018 Standard Deductions:

Single $12,000 (+ $1600 65 or older)

Married Filing Separately $12,000 (+ $1300 65 or older)

Married Filing Jointly $24,000 (+ $1300 each spouse 65 or older)

Head of Household $18,000 (+ $1600 65 or older
