Not sure what you are seeing. If your son is your dependent, then you should have a personal exemption of $4050 for him and one for yourself--these will show up on line 26 of a 1040A, or on line 42 of a 1040.
For Head of Household, your standard deduction is $9300. On 1040A it will be on line 24; on 1040 it will be on line 40.
If your son is 17, you do not get the child tax credit for him.
