My parents are claiming me yet it is giving me a standard deduction of 1741. I don't understand why it is doing this since they claim me

Everyone gets a Standard Deduction.  

The Standard Deduction for an individual for whom an exemption can be claimed on another person's tax return is limited to the greater of:

…..$1,050 or

…..Your earned income for the year + $350 (but not more than 12,200)

So you would get a minimum of $1,050.

See page 23 of Publication 501 and the worksheet on page 25

its a Deduction off your income so you get taxed on a lower amount.  It's not a Deduction from your refund.  The Standard Deduction is a good thing.  You should get all your withholding in W2 box 2 back if you only have W2 income.
