Personal and Dependent Exemptions

Personal and Dependent Exemptions

The tax code allows an exemption for each taxpayer and spouse (if a joint return is filed) who is not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's return and for each dependent. The exemption amount is phased out for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income exceed a specified amount. See our Exemption Allowance rate table for the current exemption amount and AGI figures.
