Deductions & credits

You indicate in your response that you are not 25 or older. As noted above you must be at least age 25 but under age 65 (at least one spouse, if married, must meet the age rule).

Something else you should review is the amount of federal withholding on your W-2. Since you do not qualify for the earned income tax credit (EITC), and if you had no federal withholding tax then there may be nothing to refund. Check box 2, of your W-2 to confirm.  Then you can also preview your 1040 to review or compare it line-by-line with last year's return.
