Personal Exemptions: The Basics. A personal exemption is a specific amount of money that you automatically get to deduct for yourself every year. For tax year 2016 and 2017, the personal exemption is $4,050. Whether you can claim the entire exemption or only part of it depends on your adjusted gross income.
Taxpayers and each of their dependents can also claim personal exemptions, which lower taxable income. In 2016, the personal exemption was $4,050. Thus, a married couple with three children received a maximum exemption of $20,250, or $4,050 for each of the five family members. However, the exemptions phase out for wealthier filers. In 2016, a married couple filing jointly began losing their personal exemptions with $311,300 in taxable income and completely lost the benefit at $433,800 (income thresholds vary by filing status). The standard deduction and personal exemption are adjusted annually for inflation.
