My 1040 shows Schedule A deduction of $19,600 Where is this schedule A?

Schedule A is for itemized deductions.  On your 1040 return, line 8 will either be the standard deduction or itemized deduction amounts.  If you itemize, then Schedule A will have recorded any itemized deductions taken.  If your return is using the standard deduction, then there will not be a Schedule A.  From the amount you list above, it appears your return is using the standard deduction, so there will not be a Schedule A with your return.

For 2018, the standard deductions are as follows:

Single or married filing separate:  $12,000

Head of Household: $18,000

Plus these both have an additional $1,600 if you are over 65 and another $1,600 if blind.

Married filing Joint:  $24,000

Plus an additional $1,300 for over 65 for each filer, plus an additional $1,300 for each if blind.

I don't think that is from schedule A Itemized Deductions.  That looks like the Standard Deduction for Head of Household over 65 $18,000+1,600=19,600.  Line 8 is either the Standard Deduction or schedule A whichever is more.  So you don't have schedule A.
