The standard deduction you must use for your 2022 tax return is the standard deduction for 2022 not 2023.

You are not preparing a 2023 tax return now.  You are preparing a 2022 return for the tax year that just ended.

 

Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income.  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2022 Form 1040.
