I don’t see where you deduct yourself/spouse on form 1040. I don’t think it’s being deducted

There are no exemptions this tax year 2018 nor through 2025 due to the Tax Reform 2017 bill.  Instead...

The 2018 standard deduction is nearly double the 2017 amount (Form 1040, Line 8):

$12,000 for Single

Add $1,600 if 65 or older

Add $1,600 if blind

$18,000 for Head of Household

Add $1,600 if 65 or older

Add $1,600 if blind

$24,000 for Married Filing Jointly or Surviving Spouses

Add $1,300 for each spouse 65 or older

Add $1,300 for each blind spouse

$12,000 for Married Filing Separately

Add $1,300 if 65 or older

Add $1,300 if blind

Personal exemptions have been eliminated for 2018-2025.  You now get a double Standard Deduction.
