Should I get a standard deduction if my parents are claiming me on their tax return

Does the standard deduction apply to my return if my parents are claiming me on their tax return

Yes, but your standard deduction will be reduced depending on your level of income (i.e., if you're filing Single, your standard deduction won't be $12,000 as it is for taxpayers not being claimed as a dependent by someone else.. it will be < $12,000).
