The software uses the date of birth you enter in MY INFO and uses the standard deduction for your age and filing status automatically. It goes by your age at the end of 2024.
The standard deduction makes some of your income “tax free.” It is not a refund. You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2024 Form 1040.
