U.S. News Review. On the same strip of Montego Bay sand as Secrets Wild Orchid, Secrets St. James offers all the amenities of a luxury all-inclusive on the beach, but it's only 14 miles from Sangster International Airport.
Personal exemption (United States) Under United States tax law, a personal exemption is an amount that a resident taxpayer is entitled to claim as a tax deduction against personal income in calculating taxable income and consequently federal income tax. It has the effect of reducing income tax payable, even to tax-free level, but not so as to result in a tax refund.
This is the exemption you can take just for being a taxpayer. Itâs the governmentâs way of saying, âThanks for being a contributing member of society!â. The Catch: You cannot get a personal exemption if anyone else is able to claim you as a dependent. The emphasis here is on the able. Even if they donât take the exemption, just the fact that they are able to means you cannot claim it.
