No, you don't get back the exact amount of a deduction, you owe less tax based on how much tax you would have paid on that amount of income. For a deduction of $375, at a 10% tax rate, you might have gotten back $37.50 more or owed that much less. I am sure, though, that your standard deduction was HIGHER than your itemized. Itemized deductions can be subject to a subtraction of a certain percentage of your AGI. Your standard deduction may also have increased due to your age.
