The Standard Deduction is automatically applied. You may not have noticed a change because that deduction had already been accounted for.
Preview your return so you can look at your Form 1040. You will be able to see the income and which lines the amounts were reported on, any deductions from income and on the second page you will see the Standard Deduction on Line 40 and the Exemptions on Line 42.
This should help you pinpoint if there is a problem and if so, what area of your return it's showing up on.
