@franktavcar You get standard deduction automatically without doing anything. Unless you force itemizing or enter enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction, the software will use standard deduction by default.
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 2022 Form 1040.
