Where do I see the personal exemptions for my dependents before I file the return? At the filing stage there is no mention of any other dollar amount.

I have read that for each dependent I have there is a certain dollar amount "exemption" which is added to the total return but there is no indication at any stage that this dollar amount is going to be applied and I will receive it. I want to make sure before I finalize and file my tax return that I will be receiving the proper compensation for my dependents.
