If true, why does TurboTax show that I have $12,000 standard deduction on both the Deductions summary page and Standard Deduction Work Sheet, but did not deduct this amount (12,000) from my total wage? It is showing that I have to pay taxes on my total wage minus about $1050 only? Overall, I am confused. The owe tax owe is much more than I expected, as if if doesn't use the $12,000 standard deduction (as it says it would use). What am I doing wrongg? I have TurboTax Premier 2018.
