It depends. If you use tax software such as Turbo Tax, that amount is already calculated for you unless you are filling out a 1040 form on your own. if this is the case, you would record this on Line 12E on the 1040. DoninGA and Xmasbaby0 has provided a very good recap on how to determine your standard deduction.
