I do not have standard deductions. I am only 18.

As a dependent taxpayer, you still get a "Standard Deduction" but the amount is based on your income (it isn't a set amount like a non-dependent taxpayer gets).

If you have entered taxable income on your tax return you will have a Standard Deduction based on the income you have entered and your filing status and if you are a dependent. It is on the Form 1040 Line 12.

You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
