Your standard deduction is a set amount that lowers the amount of income you are taxed on. It is not a refund that you get back. If this is your first time to file a tax return without being claimed as someone else's dependent, you get a $4050 personal exemption and your $6300 standard deduction. That means the first $10,350 of your earnings are not being taxed.
