In review it does not look as if I got the $4000 exemption which lowers the amount income that I was taxed on.

Are you being claimed as someone's dependent?

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.

my line 40 that Turbo Tax did has 14,447 not 9,300

So that means you itemized deductions and got a higher amount than your standard deduction.  But your question was about your exemptions.  Do you see them on line 42 of your 1040?
