Go to page 2 of your Form 1040 from 2018. On line 8, if it shows $12,000 for single, $18,000 for Head of Household, or $24,000 for Married Filing Jointly, then you took the Standard Deduction. 

If it is different than that, you claimed Itemized Deductions. 

 

Everyone that files a tax return either gets the Standard deduction or Itemized deductions.
