Married filling jointly why is my wife and I not considered as 2 dependents for Standard deductions?

Did you prepare a joint return?  Then look at line 12 of your Form 1040.  You will see your standard deduction there.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

 

 

Your standard deduction lowers your taxable income.  It is not a refund.  You will see your standard or itemized deduction amount on line 12 of your 2022 Form 1040.
