I'm on the student loan interest deduction section and it says I get to deduct all $537 of my interest paid 2017, but only adds $75 to my federal return. Is that right?

Its a deduction from income. It lowers your income by $537, that's not a refunded amount., $75 additional refund on a $527 reduction of income sounds reasonable.

Yes, this sounds right.
The student loan interest deduction is a deduction which reduces your taxable income, and not a credit which reduces your tax liability dollar for dollar.
