Everyone uses a Form 1040. The last time there was a 1040EZ or 1040A was for the 2017 tax year. Unless you have enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction, you automatically get your standard deduction.
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 2020 Form 1040.
2020 Standard Deduction Amounts
Single $12,400 (+ $1650 65 or older)
Married Filing Separate $12,400 (+ $1300 if 65 or older)
Married Filing Jointly $24,800 (+ $1300 for each spouse 65 or older)
Head of Household $18,650 (+ $1650 for 65 or older)
And....your grandparents cannot claim you as a dependent even though you live with them. You made too much money.
