How do I know if a standard deduction is being applied?

[LinaJ2018]

You can check under "Tax Summary".  Here are the steps:

• Sign in to your account, select Take me to my return
• To your left panel, select Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow
• Select Tools
• Under Other helpful links, choose View Tax Summary
• To your left, select Preview my 1040, scroll down to line 8 on the Form 1040 to check the amount.

The TCJA almost doubled the standard deduction  amounts. The  2018 standard deductions  are: 

* $12,000 if you are single or use married filing separate status (up from $6,350 for 2017). 

* $24,000 if you are a married joint-filer (up from $12,700).
